Summary:
The city of Cochran, Georgia is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative school). Overall, the Bleckley County school district appears to be performing well, with several standout schools that rank highly among their peers across the state.
Bleckley County Elementary School and Bleckley Middle School are particularly impressive, consistently ranking in the top 20% of Georgia schools in their respective categories over the past 3 years. Bleckley County Elementary has strong test scores, with 48-54% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 58-76% proficient or better in Mathematics. Bleckley Middle School also excels, with 48-68% of students proficient or better in Mathematics across grades 6-8.
While the district's traditional public schools are performing well, the data reveals a notable gap in performance between them and the Bleckley County Success Academy, the alternative high school. This school lags significantly behind the others in test scores and overall ranking. However, the district as a whole serves a relatively economically disadvantaged student population, with 55-65% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, yet the schools are still able to achieve strong academic outcomes.
