Summary:
Zip code 30471 in Twin City, Georgia, is home to one elementary school, Twin City Elementary School, which serves grades PK through 5 within the Emanuel County School District.
Twin City Elementary School stands out as a consistently high-performing school despite serving a student population where nearly 83% qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has maintained a 4-star rating for three consecutive years and improved its state ranking from the 70th to the 73rd percentile. Its most exceptional achievement is in 5th grade mathematics, where 70.8% of students are proficient—a remarkable 26.7 percentage points above the state average and 27.9 points above the district. This strength is not a fluke, as the previous year showed a similar 24.1-point advantage. The school also excels in 5th grade science, outperforming the state by 10.7 points, and in English Language Arts, where it exceeded state averages at every grade level in the most recent available data (2024-2025), with advantages ranging from 1.2 to 7.8 points.
The primary area of concern is 4th grade mathematics, where proficiency at 45.7% falls 4.4 points below the state average—a pattern that repeated from the prior year. However, the school still outperforms its district by a wide margin in this subject. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.5:1 and per-student spending of $13,296, the school appears to use resources effectively. Chronic absenteeism at 16.8% is slightly better than both district and state rates. Overall, Twin City Elementary School demonstrates that a high-poverty school can achieve strong academic results, with particular excellence in upper elementary mathematics and science, while showing a clear opportunity for improvement in 4th grade math.
