Summary:
Zip code 36792 is home to a single public school, Randolph Elementary School, a small rural school serving grades PK through 6 with 225 students in the Bibb County district.
For parents, the most important takeaway is that Randolph Elementary School is a clear academic leader in English Language Arts, beating the state average in every tested grade from 3rd through 6th. Third grade is particularly strong, with a 76.32% proficiency rate compared to the state's 64.75%. Math tells a different story: the school outperforms the state in 3rd and 4th grades, but falls noticeably behind in 5th and 6th grades, where proficiency drops to 25% and 30.43% respectively. This suggests a potential challenge as students move into upper elementary math. The school also shows strong momentum, jumping from the 43rd to the 57th percentile in state rankings over two years, and it consistently outperforms the district average in nearly every subject and grade level.
One concern is chronic absenteeism, which sits at 24.5%—more than double the state average of 12%. This is especially notable given the school's strong test scores, meaning the students who attend regularly are performing well, but there is clear room for improvement if attendance improves. On the resource side, the school maintains a favorable 15:1 student-teacher ratio, and per-student spending was $10,616. With about 49% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school serves a community with moderate economic need. Overall, Randolph Elementary School is a high-performing school within its district, with standout ELA results and a clear opportunity to strengthen upper-grade math instruction.
