Summary:
The 38917 zip code area is home to two schools - J Z George High School and Marshall Elementary School, both of which are part of the Carroll County School District. Unfortunately, these schools are performing significantly below state and district averages, with low test scores, particularly in mathematics, and high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
J Z George High School has a student population that is 52.83% African American, 39% White, and 4.54% Hispanic, while Marshall Elementary School's student population is 57.69% African American, 32.69% White, and 4.12% Hispanic. Both schools spend less per student than the state average, with J Z George High School spending $9,568 per student and Marshall Elementary School spending $8,489 per student. Despite the low spending, both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, with J Z George High School at 12.4 and Marshall Elementary School at 12.5.
Overall, the data suggests that the schools in this zip code area are facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to their students. Addressing these issues will likely require a multi-faceted approach that addresses both resource allocation and teacher quality, as well as targeted interventions to support the high-poverty student population. Without significant improvements, students in this area may continue to struggle academically, limiting their future opportunities.
