Summary:
Zip code 31313 in Hinesville, Georgia, is served by 10 public schools within the Liberty County district, including six elementary schools, two middle schools, and two high schools, all of which serve predominantly economically disadvantaged populations.
For parents, the standout school in this area is Taylors Creek Elementary School, which ranks in the 89th percentile statewide and dramatically outperforms its peers in math and science—for example, 78.2% of its 4th graders are proficient in math versus just 40.4% district-wide. It also has one of the lowest chronic absenteeism rates (12.8%) in the zip code. At the middle school level, Snelson-Golden Middle School and Lewis Frasier Middle School excel at accelerating advanced students, with over 92% of their Algebra I test-takers scoring proficient—nearly double the state average. Among high schools, Liberty County High School is the stronger performer, improving to the 58th percentile and beating Bradwell Institute in every subject, including a 30.8% vs. 17.9% proficiency gap in Algebra I.
The most pressing challenge across the zip code is chronic absenteeism, which is especially severe at Bradwell Institute (48.8%) and Liberty County High School (42.3%), both far above the state average of 17.7%. This correlates with lower academic performance, as schools with better attendance like Taylors Creek and Lewis Frasier tend to score higher. Lyman Hall Elementary School is the lowest-ranked school (9th percentile) despite having the highest per-student spending, while Button Gwinnett Elementary School has an unusually high student-teacher ratio of 27.1:1. Encouragingly, both high schools post graduation rates above 91%, and math proficiency tends to decline as students progress from 3rd to 5th grade across most elementary schools, suggesting a need for stronger foundational math support.
