Summary:
The 31210 zip code area in Bibb County, Georgia is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 public charter school serving grades K-12. While the majority of the schools in this area struggle with low test scores, graduation rates, and overall performance, the Academy for Classical Education, a public charter school, stands out as a high-performing institution with significantly better academic outcomes compared to the traditional public schools in the Bibb County district.
The Academy for Classical Education boasts a 79.8% proficiency rate in American Literature and Composition, far exceeding the state average of 42%, as well as a 100% four-year graduation rate. In contrast, Howard High School and Howard Middle School rank in the bottom 25% of schools in Georgia and have proficiency rates well below state averages across subject areas. The economic disadvantage faced by the majority of students in the area, as indicated by the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, is likely a contributing factor to the lower academic performance of these schools.
The State Specialty Schools II- Academy For Classical Education district, which operates the high-performing charter school, stands in contrast to the Bibb County district, which is ranked 160 out of 193 districts in Georgia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The significant performance gap between the charter school and the traditional public schools in the area highlights the need for targeted interventions and additional resources to support students from low-income backgrounds and improve educational outcomes across the district.
