Summary

Peach County Achievement Academy is a small public high school in Fort Valley, Georgia, serving grades 6-12 with just 35 students. Despite being part of the Peach County School District, which is ranked 161 out of 206 districts in the state, the school has consistently underperformed academically, ranking in the bottom 10% of Georgia high schools.

With a high poverty rate, as indicated by 68.57% of students being eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Peach County Achievement Academy faces significant challenges. Its academic performance on state assessments is well below the state and county averages, and its four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 41.2% and 90.0% over the past few years, lower than the state and county averages. In comparison, the nearby Peach County High School, just 4.3 miles away, outperforms Peach County Achievement Academy on state assessments and has a higher graduation rate.

The small size of Peach County Achievement Academy, with only 35 students, may be a contributing factor to its poor academic outcomes. Additionally, the school's geographic isolation from higher-performing schools, such as Veterans High School and Houston County High School, which are 17.55 and 13.6 miles away, respectively, may limit opportunities for collaboration, resource sharing, and exposure to successful practices that could benefit the school.
