Walker County


Summary:

The schools in Walker County, Georgia include 10 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The data reveals significant performance gaps between the highest and lowest-performing schools in the district. Fairyland Elementary School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with exceptional test scores and a low free/reduced lunch rate. In contrast, Rossville Elementary School and Stone Creek Elementary School appear to be the lowest-performing schools, with test scores well below the state and county averages.

The data also shows a strong correlation between student socioeconomic status and academic achievement, with the schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates tending to have the lowest test scores. While the elementary schools show a wider range of performance, the middle and high schools appear to be more clustered in their test scores, with most falling below the state averages. This suggests a need to focus on improving academic outcomes at the secondary level.

Despite the challenges, the data indicates that some schools, like Chattanooga Valley Elementary School, are able to achieve exceptional results, even in a district with significant challenges. This suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from these high-performing schools and implement best practices across the district to address equity and support student success.
