Schools in Zip Code 31014

Zip code 31014, covering the Cochran, Georgia area, is served by five schools within the Bleckley County School District, which holds a 4-star rating and ranks in the 70th percentile statewide, enrolling roughly 2,581 students across elementary, middle, and high school levels.

For parents, the standout is Bleckley Middle School, where 100% of students scored proficient on the Algebra I End of Course assessment for two consecutive years—more than double the state average of 48.1%. This school also excels in 8th grade science (50.3% proficiency vs. 29.7% statewide). Bleckley County Elementary School is a rising star, improving its state ranking from the 81st to 86th percentile over three years, with 5th grade math proficiency at 70% (state: 44.1%) and science at 67.2% (state: 44.2%). Bleckley County High School boasts a 97.6% graduation rate (state: 87.2%) and low chronic absenteeism at 10.7%, though its U.S. History proficiency dropped sharply from 41.1% to 14.9% in one year. Bleckley County Primary School (PK-2) has no test data but maintains a low 9.1% chronic absenteeism rate despite serving a 100% free/reduced lunch population.

The district's main challenge is Bleckley County Success Academy, an alternative school with a 0-star rating, 2nd percentile ranking, 22.5% chronic absenteeism, and an 11.8% dropout rate—nearly five times the district rate. Test proficiency is 0% in multiple subjects, yet it still graduates 91.7% of its students. District-wide, chronic absenteeism (9.8%) is roughly half the state rate, and per-student spending ranges from $11,511 at the elementary school to $13,648 at the primary school. With poverty levels between 70-100% across all schools, this district achieves above-average results in math and science pathways, though the Success Academy's resource allocation (18.4:1 student-teacher ratio, the highest in the district) warrants attention.
