Best Public Schools in Zip Code 62625


Summary:

The 62625 zip code area is home to two strong-performing schools - Cantrall Elementary School and Cantrall Intermediate School, both part of the Athens CUSD 213 district. These schools demonstrate impressive academic achievement, particularly in English Language Arts and Math, outpacing district and state averages.

Cantrall Intermediate School stands out for its exceptional English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with 59.2% of students scoring proficient or better in 2023-2024, well above the 53.1% district average and 41.2% state average. Meanwhile, Cantrall Elementary School excels in Math, with 52.4% of all students and 52.3% of 3rd graders proficient or better, compared to 30.6% and 33.8% respectively at the district and state levels.

Both schools maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios and per-student spending figures, suggesting efficient resource allocation. However, the higher free/reduced lunch rate at Cantrall Intermediate School (40.19%) compared to Cantrall Elementary School (24.92%) may indicate potential equity concerns that warrant further investigation. Additionally, addressing the notable chronic absenteeism rates, especially at the intermediate school, could be an area for improvement.
