Summary:
The city of Toccoa, Georgia is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The schools in this Stephens County district showcase a mix of strengths and areas for improvement.
Stephens County High School stands out as the top-performing school, with a strong 93.6% four-year graduation rate and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.6. In contrast, the middle schools and elementary schools in the district generally underperform compared to state averages on standardized test scores, suggesting a need for additional support and resources. The elementary schools also have higher free/reduced lunch rates, up to 75.13%, indicating a potential need for more assistance for economically disadvantaged students.
Across the district, the schools have a predominantly white student population, ranging from 69.84% to 73.73%, with relatively low representation of minority students. This could be an area for the district to explore in terms of diversity and inclusion efforts. Additionally, the significant variation in spending per student, from $7,572 to $9,475, may indicate a need for more equitable funding distribution within the Stephens County district.
