Schools in Zip Code 31078

Zip code 31078, serving the Roberta, Georgia area, is home to four schools within the Crawford County district, which together educate roughly 1,516 students across grades PK-12 in a community facing significant economic challenges, with nearly all students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

Across this small district, academic performance varies sharply by school and subject. The standout is Crawford County Middle School, where an exceptional 85.7% of Algebra I students scored proficient or above—dramatically outpacing the state average of 48.1% and the district's own 28% rate. This success, however, does not carry into Crawford County High School, where only 18.1% of Algebra I students reach proficiency, a 67.6-point gap that suggests the middle school's advanced math pipeline is not translating to high school success. Meanwhile, Crawford County Elementary shows a troubling "reverse slide," with math proficiency falling from 33.3% in 3rd grade to just 10.9% in 5th grade, indicating cumulative learning gaps that intensify before middle school. The Crawford County Primary School serves the youngest learners (PK-2) and, while no test scores are available for those grades, it posts the highest per-student spending at $16,658.

Despite below-average test scores in most subjects, Crawford County High School maintains a strong 93% graduation rate, nearly six points above the state, suggesting effective student retention even amid academic struggles. Chronic absenteeism is a growing concern, rising from 14.2% at the elementary level to 28.4% at the high school—well above the state's 17.7%. One rare bright spot is 8th grade science, where proficiency hit 34%, exceeding the state's 29.7% and representing a remarkable 25-point improvement over the prior year. For parents, this district offers a mixed picture: exceptional math acceleration at the middle school, a reliable path to graduation at the high school, but persistent challenges in elementary math and upper-grade attendance that warrant attention.
