Summary:
Zip code 31763 in Leesburg, Georgia, is served by 8 schools within the Lee County School District, a top-20 ranked district in the state, offering a full educational pathway from Pre-K through 12th grade. The district is a clear standout, with Lee County Middle School West leading the pack as the academic powerhouse, ranking in the 85th percentile statewide and achieving a perfect 100% proficiency in Algebra I. Lee County High School also excels with a 94.7% graduation rate, though its state ranking has slipped over the past few years, while the Lee High School 9th Grade Campus quietly posts impressive Algebra I and Biology scores that outpace the main high school.
Across the board, these schools consistently outperform state averages in math, science, and social studies, with the most significant advantages seen in elementary grades. Lee County Elementary School and Twin Oaks Elementary both rank in the 79th-81st percentile, though they show contrasting trends—Lee County Elementary peaks in 3rd grade while Twin Oaks improves by 5th grade. A notable divide exists between the two middle schools, with Lee County Middle School West outperforming Lee County Middle School East by nearly 18 points in 6th-grade math, a gap that may be linked to higher chronic absenteeism at the East campus. Both middle schools, however, show exceptional strength in advanced math acceleration.
One of the most striking anomalies is the Algebra I proficiency at Lee County High School, which sits at just 25.8% compared to the district's 74.3%, a figure that warrants closer investigation. Meanwhile, chronic absenteeism is a district-wide bright spot, with every school falling below the state average, and per-student spending does not appear to predict performance, as the highest-spending school and the lowest-spending school serve similar demographics. Overall, this is a high-performing district with strong foundations, though the high school's math data and the middle school performance gap are areas for parents to watch.
