Summary:
Zip code 31092 is home to just one school: Dooly County High School, a traditional public high school in Vienna, Georgia, serving grades 9 through 12 with 329 students. Part of the Dooly County school district, this school serves a community where 82% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and it faces significant academic challenges alongside a few notable bright spots.
Academically, Dooly County High School consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Georgia high schools, with proficiency rates far below state averages across all tested subjects. In 2025-2026, only 15.5% of students were proficient in Algebra I (state: 48.1%), 18.3% in Biology (state: 47.2%), and 0% in US History (state: 38.5%). The US History result is particularly striking—a drop from 4.4% the prior year to zero. However, Biology proficiency nearly doubled year-over-year, suggesting some instructional gains. The school also spends a substantial $19,584 per student and maintains a favorable 13.7:1 student-teacher ratio, yet outcomes remain low, pointing to deeper systemic issues.
Despite low test scores, the school posts a graduation rate of 91.3%, above both the district (88.2%) and state (87.2%) averages—a positive sign for families focused on completion. The most pressing concern is chronic absenteeism: 33.5% of students are chronically absent, nearly double the state rate of 17.7%. This likely undermines the school's investments in instruction and small class sizes. The school's state ranking improved slightly from the 6th to 8th percentile over the past year, and its absolute rank rose from 426th to 417th, indicating modest progress. For parents, this school offers a supportive graduation pathway and improving science scores, but attendance and subject mastery remain critical areas needing attention.
