Summary:
Zip code 31519 is home to a single school, Broxton-Mary Hayes Elementary, a PK-5 elementary school in Broxton, Georgia, serving 304 students within the Coffee County district.
Broxton-Mary Hayes Elementary stands out for its exceptional performance in 5th grade, despite serving a student population where 100% qualify for free or reduced lunch. In 5th grade science, the school achieved a 70.6% proficiency rate—a remarkable 31.4 percentage points above the district average and 26.4 points above the state average. The school also showed dramatic improvement in 5th grade math, jumping from 31.7% to 47.1% proficiency year-over-year, now outpacing the district by 20 percentage points. This upward momentum is reflected in the school's overall ranking, which improved from the 47th percentile to the 61st percentile, earning a 3-star rating. The school maintains a favorable 13.2:1 student-teacher ratio and spends $15,609 per student, resources that appear to be effectively supporting upper elementary achievement.
While the school's strengths are concentrated in 5th grade, other areas show mixed results. In 3rd grade math, proficiency improved from 33.3% to 42.9%, though 4th grade math declined from 47.1% to 41.4%. English Language Arts scores from the 2024-2025 school year show the school outperforming its district in 4th and 5th grades but trailing state averages across all grades. Chronic absenteeism remains a challenge at 22.5%, notably above the state average of 17.7%. The school's positive trajectory and ability to achieve above-district results in key subjects despite high poverty rates suggest effective instructional practices, though reducing absenteeism and building on 5th grade success in lower grades will be critical for continued improvement.
