Schools in Zip Code 31632

Zip code 31632 in Hahira, Georgia, is served by two schools within the Lowndes County district, which ranks in the 93rd percentile statewide, and together they provide a seamless educational pathway for roughly 1,625 students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade.

Hahira Middle School is the standout performer, ranking 18th in Georgia (97th percentile) with a 5-star rating, and it has climbed steadily from 44th place over the past two years. Its most remarkable achievement is a perfect 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I End of Course exam, more than double the state average of 48.1%, and 8th graders taking high school Physical Science hit 96.6% proficiency versus 60.9% statewide. The middle school also posts strong results in grades 6–8 math (65.5% to 75.2% proficiency), all well above state averages by 24 to 33 percentage points. Hahira Elementary School is equally impressive, jumping from 124th to 47th in the state (96th percentile) in a single year. Its 3rd through 5th grade math proficiency rates range from 79.2% to 81.1%, exceeding state averages by roughly 30 points, and 5th grade science proficiency sits at 78.2% versus 44.2% statewide.

Both schools serve significant economically disadvantaged populations (58–66% free/reduced lunch), yet chronic absenteeism is remarkably low—just 4.8% at the elementary school and 11.5% at the middle school, compared to 17.7% statewide. The middle school achieves its top-tier results with lower per-student spending ($11,687) than the elementary school ($13,155), indicating efficient resource use. One notable pattern: while 5th graders hit 78.2% in science, 8th graders in general science drop to 54.2%, but this is likely because the strongest students are channeled into the high school-level Physical Science course where they excel. English Language Arts scores for 2025–2026 are not yet available and will be released in December; the most recent data shows both schools performing well above state averages. Together, these schools form a cohesive, high-achieving pipeline that represents a model of rural educational excellence in South Georgia.
