Summary:
Zip code 31088 in Warner Robins, Georgia, is served by 14 schools within the Houston County School District, including nine elementary and primary schools, three middle schools, and two high schools, enrolling roughly 11,800 students.
There is a stark performance divide within this single zip code. Feagin Mill Middle School is the standout, ranking in the 85th percentile statewide with a perfect 100% Algebra I proficiency rate and a 92.5% rate in High School Physical Science—both more than double state averages. Houston County High School leads at the secondary level with a 96.8% graduation rate, a 90.3% Biology proficiency rate, and the lowest chronic absenteeism among the high schools at 12.7%. At the elementary level, Lake Joy Elementary School and Quail Run Elementary School are top performers, with Quail Run showing dramatic year-over-year gains in 5th grade math (67.4% proficiency). In contrast, Miller Elementary School ranks in the 13th percentile with only 14.9% of 5th graders proficient in math, and Warner Robins High School has the highest chronic absenteeism rate in the zip code at 31.4%, with a 90.5% graduation rate.
Chronic absenteeism and poverty concentration appear closely tied to outcomes. The seven schools with 100% free/reduced lunch eligibility—including Warner Robins High School, Warner Robins Middle School, Huntington Middle School, C. B. Watson Primary School, Russell Elementary School, Shirley Hills Elementary School, and Miller Elementary School—generally show lower test scores and higher absenteeism. Notably, higher per-student spending does not guarantee success: Miller Elementary spends the most ($16,121 per student) yet performs the worst, while Houston County High School spends the least and excels. US History proficiency is a district-wide weakness, with Warner Robins High School at just 10.3% proficiency. For parents, the zip code offers excellent options at Feagin Mill, Lake Joy, Quail Run, and Houston County High, but families should carefully consider attendance zones given the wide disparities.
