Summary:
The 39083 zip code area is home to three public schools - Hazlehurst Elementary School, Hazlehurst High School, and Hazlehurst Middle School, all part of the Hazlehurst City School District. Unfortunately, the data reveals that these schools are consistently underperforming, with test scores and rankings well below the state averages.
None of the three schools in the 39083 zip code area can be considered standouts, as they all struggle academically. Test scores across all grade levels and subjects are significantly lower than the state proficiency levels, with many schools scoring 20-30 percentage points below the state average. Additionally, all three schools are ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in the state, with Hazlehurst Elementary and Hazlehurst High School both ranked in the bottom 30% of their categories.
The student populations at these schools are predominantly African American, ranging from 76.69% at Hazlehurst Elementary to 86.03% at Hazlehurst High School. The Hispanic student population is also relatively high, making up 18.43% at Hazlehurst Elementary and 10.22% at Hazlehurst High School. Furthermore, all three schools have 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the community. The relatively high spending per student, coupled with the poor academic outcomes, suggests that the resources may not be effectively allocated or utilized to support student learning and achievement.
