Summary:

The 31705 zip code area of Albany, Georgia is home to 9 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Dougherty County school district. While the district as a whole is ranked 163 out of 206 in Georgia and has a 1-star rating, a few schools in the area stand out, both positively and negatively.

The International Studies Elementary Charter School is a clear standout, significantly outperforming the other elementary schools in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. Morningside Elementary School also has some of the better test scores in the area. On the other hand, the South Georgia Regional Achievement Center- The Phoenix alternative high school has the lowest performance, with very low proficiency rates across all subjects.

Across the board, the schools in this zip code area perform significantly below state averages on the Milestones Assessments, with high poverty rates and spending per student ranging from $9,483 to $12,267. The challenges faced by these schools suggest a need for targeted interventions, additional resources, and a closer examination of the Dougherty County school district's approach to supporting student success.
