Richmond County


Summary:

The Richmond County school district in Georgia consists of 50 schools, including 30 elementary schools, 8 middle schools, 11 high schools, and 1 alternative school. On average, the schools are rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating relatively low performance compared to other schools in the state.

A few schools stand out in the district, including Davidson Magnet School and Johnson Magnet, which are high-performing magnet schools ranking in the top 5% and top 10% of Georgia high schools, respectively. Additionally, Walker Traditional Elementary School and Freedom Park Elementary are also high-performing, ranking in the top 10% and top 25% of Georgia elementary schools.

However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with the majority of schools performing well below state averages in key metrics such as graduation rates, test scores, and student poverty levels. The district-wide 4-year graduation rate is 85.4%, which is below the state average, and proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones assessments are generally low across the district. Addressing these disparities and replicating the practices of the top-performing schools could be crucial for improving outcomes for all students in Richmond County.
