Schools in Zip Code 30633

Zip code 30633, serving the Danielsville area of Madison County, Georgia, is home to three public schools—one high school and two elementary schools—that together educate 2,662 students within the Madison County school district, a 4-star district ranked 49th out of 201 in the state.

For families, the standout choice is Ila Elementary School, which earns a 4-star rating and ranks in the 85th percentile statewide—well ahead of its local counterpart. Ila outperforms Danielsville Elementary School by 10 to 20 percentage points across most subjects and grades, with 5th-grade science proficiency at 62.5% versus Danielsville’s 50.6% (state: 44.2%). Notably, Ila achieves these results despite having the lower per-student spending of the two elementary schools ($14,759 vs. $16,644) and a slightly higher economic disadvantage rate. Danielsville, meanwhile, performs near state averages in math and science but shows a weak spot in 3rd-grade English Language Arts (31.6% vs. 34.9% statewide). At the secondary level, Madison County High School excels at keeping students on track—its 93.9% graduation rate and 0.7% dropout rate far surpass state averages (87.2% and 2.4%, respectively)—even though its End of Course scores lag in Algebra I (31.9% vs. 48.1%) and U.S. History (31.9% vs. 38.5%). Biology is the lone bright spot, where the high school edges out the state at 48.9% proficiency.

One concern is chronic absenteeism at the high school, which sits at 26.5%—nearly 9 points above the state average—while both elementary schools fall below that benchmark. All three schools serve predominantly low-income populations, with free/reduced lunch rates from 80.84% to 90.27%, yet Ila’s consistent improvement (from the 79th to 85th percentile over three years) proves high achievement is possible despite economic challenges. Meanwhile, Danielsville has slipped slightly (65th to 63rd percentile), and the high school’s overall ranking has dipped to the 52nd percentile, signaling a need for renewed focus on math instruction.
