Summary:
The 30471 zip code area in Georgia is home to two schools - Emanuel County Institute, a high school, and Twin City Elementary School. While the elementary school consistently performs well, ranking in the top 30% of Georgia schools, the high school's performance has been more variable, fluctuating between the top 35% and 55% of high schools in the state over the past three years.
Twin City Elementary stands out as a strong performer, outpacing the Emanuel County and Georgia averages on most 3rd-5th grade assessments in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school also boasts a high 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 56.4%, compared to the county's 37.5% and the state's 43.8%. In contrast, Emanuel County Institute performs better than the county average on several high school End of Course assessments, including United States History, Algebra I, and Biology, but still lags behind the state's performance on these exams.
Both schools serve a relatively low-income student population, with high free and reduced-price lunch rates of 82.78% at Twin City Elementary and 69.8% at Emanuel County Institute. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the academic performance differences observed between the elementary and high school levels. Additionally, while Emanuel County Institute spends slightly more per student ($9,832) compared to Twin City Elementary ($8,965), this higher funding does not appear to be translating into better academic results at the high school level, suggesting potential issues with resource allocation within the district.
