Summary:
The city of Lithia Springs, Georgia is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools in this area face significant challenges, with most students coming from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and academic performance generally lagging behind state and district averages.
Among the schools, D.E.L.T.A. STEAM Academy, a public charter elementary/middle school, stands out with consistently strong performance, ranking in the top half of Georgia elementary schools. Annette Winn Elementary School and Lithia Springs Elementary School also perform better than some of the other schools in the area, ranking in the middle third and top half of Georgia elementary schools, respectively.
However, the data reveals large gaps in academic performance between the schools and state/district averages, as well as disparities between the highest and lowest performing schools. The extremely high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 80.56% at the high school to over 92% at some elementary schools, suggest that addressing poverty and its impacts on learning should be a priority for the Douglas County and State Specialty Schools II- D.E.L.T.A. STEAM Academy school districts.
