Summary:
The Troup County school district in Georgia encompasses 19 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 5 high schools. The district serves a diverse student population, with a mix of high-performing and struggling schools.
Some of the standout schools in the district include Hillcrest Elementary School, which is ranked 5 out of 5 stars and has very high proficiency rates, as well as Long Cane Elementary School and Rosemont Elementary School, both of which are 4-star schools with strong academic performance. In contrast, Berta Weathersbee Elementary and Clearview Elementary stand out as the lowest-performing schools in the district, with proficiency rates below 30% in most subjects.
The district-wide metrics reveal a mixed picture, with the 4-year graduation rate slightly below the state average and proficiency rates on state assessments generally below the state average as well. However, the district has a high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients, suggesting significant socioeconomic challenges that may contribute to the overall lower academic performance. The data also indicates that there is a wide range in school quality within the district, with the top elementary schools achieving proficiency rates 30-40 percentage points higher than the lowest performers, pointing to potential opportunities for improvement by learning from the district's brightest spots.
