Summary:
The Burke County school district in Georgia consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district, with some schools significantly outperforming others.
S G A Elementary School stands out as the top-performing elementary school, with the highest proficiency rates on state assessments. In contrast, Blakeney Elementary and Waynesboro Primary have significantly lower proficiency rates. At the middle school level, Burke County Middle School has a high proficiency rate on the Algebra I exam, but is ranked in the bottom half of Georgia middle schools overall.
The data also reveals high poverty levels across the district, with all schools having very high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This likely presents significant challenges for the schools.

Overall, the data points to a school district facing significant inequities that will require a multi-faceted approach to address.
