Summary:
The city of Carnesville, Georgia is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Franklin County High School, Franklin County Middle School, and Carnesville Elementary School. These schools have varying levels of performance, with Carnesville Elementary standing out as a strong performer, Franklin County High School maintaining consistent but average results, and Franklin County Middle School struggling to meet state benchmarks.
Franklin County schools face challenges related to socioeconomic factors, as the schools with higher percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients tend to have lower test scores. However, Carnesville Elementary has outperformed the county and state averages in English Language Arts and Science, despite having the highest spending per student. This suggests the school is effectively allocating resources and implementing successful teaching practices.
While Franklin County High School has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, its test scores in some subjects lag behind the state averages, indicating room for improvement. In contrast, Franklin County Middle School has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Georgia middle schools, with significantly lower test scores in core subjects compared to the state. Addressing these challenges and providing targeted support for economically disadvantaged students could help improve student outcomes across the district.
