Summary:
The Toombs County school district in Georgia consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with a predominantly low-income student population across the schools.
Among the standout schools, Toombs Central Elementary School has the highest performance on state assessments, with 60-70% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. It also has the highest 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Lyons Upper Elementary has relatively strong test scores, especially in 3rd and 4th grade Mathematics, and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.3. However, the district's performance is generally inconsistent, with some grade levels performing much better than others on state assessments.
The district's graduation rate at Toombs County High School is 85.4%, which is decent but below the state average. Spending per student varies across the schools, ranging from $8,682 at the high school to $10,986 at Lyons Primary School, which may indicate funding inequities. The high school and middle school have also seen their SchoolDigger ratings decline over the past few years, dropping from 2 stars to 1 star, suggesting the district is struggling to improve or maintain its performance.
