The city of Commerce, Georgia is home to 7 schools across 2 school districts, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The data reveals some standout schools in the area, as well as notable performance gaps between the districts and grade levels.
Within the Commerce City school district, Commerce Middle School and Commerce High School are the standout performers. Both schools rank among the top 114 in their respective grade levels in Georgia and have strong test scores, with over 50% of students proficient in core subjects. In contrast, the Jackson County district's East Jackson Comprehensive High School lags behind, with lower test scores and rankings.
Socioeconomic factors appear to play a role, as the schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates, such as East Jackson Elementary and East Jackson Middle, also tend to have lower academic performance. However, spending per student and student-teacher ratios do not seem to be the primary drivers of school quality in this area.
