The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the schools. Tucker High School and Tucker Middle School generally perform below the county and state averages, while Nesbit Elementary and Idlewood Elementary have the lowest proficiency rates, with many scores below 25%.

While some schools in Tucker, Georgia, such as Livsey Elementary and Midvale Elementary, are performing well, the significant performance gaps between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools suggest that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to these disparities.
