Summary:
Zip code 30230, serving the Hogansville area of Troup County, Georgia, contains two public schools: Callaway High School (grades 9-12) and Hogansville Elementary School (grades PK-5), both part of the Troup County school district.
Both schools serve predominantly low-income populations, yet they show notable strengths in non-academic areas. Callaway High School boasts a 93.8% graduation rate, well above the state average of 87.2%, and a low dropout rate of 1.5%. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 12.2% is also better than the state's 17.7%. Hogansville Elementary School has an exceptional chronic absenteeism rate of just 8.2%, less than half the state average. Academically, the elementary school shows a promising trend in mathematics, with proficiency improving from 38.6% in 3rd grade to 49% in 5th grade—the latter exceeding the state average by nearly 5 points. Its 5th grade science proficiency (45.1%) also tops the state. However, Callaway High School struggles with subject disparities: while Algebra I proficiency (44.6%) is close to the state, Biology (31.9%) and U.S. History (14.8%) lag significantly, with the history score nearly 24 points below the state average.
Both schools have seen their state rankings decline over three consecutive years, with Callaway High School dropping from the 48th to the 31st percentile and Hogansville Elementary School falling from the 64th to the 56th percentile. Per-student spending is similar at both schools (around $14,500-$14,700), though the elementary school enjoys a more favorable student-teacher ratio (13.6:1) compared to the high school (17.1:1). The high school's dramatic year-over-year decline in U.S. History proficiency (from 23.6% to 14.8%) warrants attention, while the elementary school's strong attendance and upper-grade math performance offer bright spots for families considering this area.
