Summary:
Zip code 30415 in Brooklet, Georgia, is served by four public schools in the Bulloch County district, educating roughly 3,261 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade in a community where 70-83% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
The clear academic standout is Southeast Bulloch Middle School, which earned a 4-star rating and ranks in the 85th percentile statewide. Its most remarkable achievement is a perfect 100% proficiency rate in Algebra I, far exceeding the state average of 48.1%, while 95.6% of 8th graders passed High School Physical Science. Among elementary schools, Brooklet Elementary School is the consistent high performer, maintaining a 4-star rating with 5th-grade math proficiency at 69.6%—25.5 points above the state average. Stilson Elementary School has shown the most dramatic improvement, jumping from the 51st to 78th percentile in two years, aided by the highest per-student spending ($16,263) and lowest student-teacher ratio (12.7:1) in the area. Southeast Bulloch High School is solid but has declined from 4 to 3 stars, though it maintains a strong 91.5% graduation rate and a 1.4% dropout rate—nearly half the state average.
All four schools outperform district averages in most subjects, creating a strong feeder pattern from Brooklet Elementary into the middle school. However, the high school's performance drops off despite receiving exceptionally prepared students, suggesting transition challenges. Chronic absenteeism is a key differentiator: Brooklet Elementary has the lowest rate (13.7%) and highest elementary rankings, while Stilson Elementary (20.6%) and the high school (19.8%) exceed the state average. The middle school achieves its outstanding results with the lowest per-student spending ($13,385), demonstrating efficient resource use. While current ELA scores are pending release, last year's data showed elementary schools exceeding state averages by up to 22 points. This is a community of overachievers, delivering results that exceed what economic demographics would predict.
