Summary:
The Candler County school district in Georgia consists of 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The data reveals a mix of strengths and areas for improvement across the district.
Metter Middle School stands out as a top performer, with the highest proficiency rates on the Milestones Assessments, particularly in Algebra I at 85.7% - significantly higher than the county and state averages. Meanwhile, both Metter High School and Metter College and Career Academy have commendable 4-year graduation rates of 85.4%, despite the district's high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 70.56% to 91.54%.
However, the data also reveals areas for improvement, as proficiency rates on the Milestones Assessments are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. Additionally, the schools have relatively high student-teacher ratios, ranging from 14.7 to 16.5, which could impact the level of individual attention students receive. The district will need to identify and address the specific challenges faced by these schools to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
