Summary:

The Heard County school district in Georgia consists of 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district appears to be performing above the state average, with several standout schools that consistently rank among the top in the state.

Centralhatchee Elementary School and Heard County Middle School are the top-performing schools in the district, with test scores significantly higher than the Heard County and Georgia averages, particularly in math and science. Arrow Academy Alternative School stands out for having a very high percentage of free/reduced lunch students at 88.46%, significantly higher than the other schools in the district.

While the district overall performs well, there are some areas of concern, such as a noticeable decline in test scores from 2023-2024 to 2024-2025 in many subject areas. Additionally, the data shows significant differences in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios across the schools, which may contribute to the performance differences. Overall, the Heard County school system appears to be providing a high-quality education, with several standout schools, but the district may want to address the declining test scores and disparities in resources across the schools.
