Summary:

Zip code 31639, encompassing Nashville, Georgia, is served by two high schools—Berrien High School and Berrien Academy Performance Learning Center—which together educate roughly 911 students in grades 9-12 within the Berrien County school district, a 4-star district ranked in the top 15% of Georgia.

For parents, the standout story is the dramatic rise of the small Berrien Academy Performance Learning Center, which jumped from a 3-star to a 5-star rating in one year, now ranking in the top 10% of the state. Its Biology proficiency (75%) is exceptional, far outpacing the district (57.2%) and state (47.2%), and it also leads in US History (45.4% vs. 38.5% state). However, with only 61 students, these percentages represent a small number of children, making the rating fragile. In contrast, Berrien High School offers stability, holding a 3-star rating with solid Biology scores (52.5%, above the state) and a strong 96.7% graduation rate. The Academy also posts a 96.2% graduation rate, and both schools dramatically exceed the state average of 87.2%, a remarkable feat given that 85-90% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch.

The key concern is math. Berrien High School’s Algebra I proficiency (40.1%) trails both the district (51.4%) and state (48.1%), and it dropped from the prior year. The Academy spends 52% more per student ($17,890 vs. $11,774) yet has a very high student-teacher ratio (46.9:1), suggesting funds go to non-instructional supports. Chronic absenteeism is also higher at the Academy (22.7%) than the state (17.7%), despite its academic success. Overall, the district excels at graduating students, but parents should watch math performance and attendance closely.
