Summary:
The 31519 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Broxton-Mary Hayes Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with 286 students. The school is part of the Coffee County school district, which is ranked 119 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Broxton-Mary Hayes Elementary's performance has been declining in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 563 out of 1,242 Georgia elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 660 out of 1,238 in 2024-2025. The school's proficiency rates on the Milestones Assessment are consistently below the Coffee County and Georgia averages across grade levels and subject areas, indicating that students are struggling academically compared to their peers across the state. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 85.66% in 2023-2024, which can present challenges for student learning and achievement.
Despite the school's academic struggles, it appears to have a relatively high per-student spending level of $9,675 for the 2018-2019 school year, which is above the national average but below the state average for Georgia. The school also has a low student-teacher ratio of 13.3, which is slightly lower than the national average. These factors, which are typically associated with better educational outcomes, suggest that there may be other factors contributing to Broxton-Mary Hayes Elementary's underperformance that warrant further investigation.
