Elementary Schools in Worth County

Summary:

The elementary schools in Worth County, Georgia consist of two institutions: Worth County Primary School and Worth County Elementary School. Both schools serve students from prekindergarten through fifth grade and are part of the Worth County school district.

The data shows that the two elementary schools in Worth County perform at similar levels, with no clear standout institution. Both schools are ranked in the middle of the state, with the district ranking 122 out of 206 in Georgia and being rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. The schools have relatively low proficiency rates on the Milestones Assessment, with scores generally below the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

One notable finding is the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with over 84% of the student population in both schools coming from low-income families. This suggests that the schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the academic challenges they face. Additionally, the relatively low spending per student, combined with the high poverty rates, may indicate funding challenges for the schools and the district.
