Summary:
The city of Fort Valley, Georgia is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative school). The schools in this area serve students from Peach County, and the data reveals significant performance gaps between the schools, as well as between the schools and the county/state averages.
Among the standout schools, Fort Valley Middle School appears to be the strongest performer, with higher proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the county and state averages. In contrast, the Peach County Achievement Academy, an alternative high school, has significantly lower proficiency rates than the other high school, Peach County High School.
The data also reveals that Hunt Elementary School and Fort Valley Middle School both had 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, indicating a high-poverty student population. This likely presents significant challenges in terms of resources, student support, and academic achievement, and suggests a potential need for more targeted interventions and support to help raise student achievement and close the performance gaps observed across the schools in this area.
