Summary:
The 31650 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Willacoochee Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 162 students. The school is part of the Atkinson County school district, which is ranked 78 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Willacoochee Elementary School's academic performance varies across grade levels and subject areas. While the school outperforms the county and state averages in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, it struggles in 4th and 5th grade English Language Arts and 5th grade Science, with proficiency rates significantly lower than the county and state. This inconsistent academic performance suggests the need for a closer examination of the school's curriculum, teaching practices, and support systems to identify areas for improvement.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $13,500 and low student-teacher ratio of 9.8, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (90.12%) indicates that Willacoochee Elementary School serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges and should be considered when developing strategies to support student learning and achievement.
