Schools in Zip Code 31768

Zip code 31768 in Moultrie, Georgia, is served by seven schools within the Colquitt County school district, including five elementary schools, one middle school, and one alternative junior high, with no traditional high school in the immediate area.

For parents, the standout school in this area is Wright Elementary School, which consistently earns a 4-star rating and leads the cohort in nearly every subject—its 5th grade science proficiency (73.7%) and math proficiency (68.4%) far exceed state averages. Sunset Elementary School is another strong choice, having improved to a 4-star rating with excellent 3rd grade math scores (69.5%) and the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in the group (7.6%). Stringfellow Elementary School shows the most dramatic turnaround, jumping from a 1-star to a 3-star rating in one year, with 3rd grade math proficiency more than doubling from 19% to 51.7%. On the other end, Cox Elementary School struggles significantly, with 5th grade math proficiency at just 25.8%—nearly triple the gap behind Wright. Okapilco Elementary School also sits in the lower tier with inconsistent scores across grade levels.

At the middle school level, Willie J. Williams Middle School shows a concerning pattern where 6th grade math slightly exceeds the state average but 7th grade math falls below it, suggesting students lose ground during these critical years. CA Gray Junior High School, an alternative school, posts extraordinary End of Course results—97.5% proficiency in Algebra I and 87.5% in Biology—yet its 8th grade Milestones scores are only average, and it has the highest chronic absenteeism rate (18.2%). Notably, higher spending doesn't guarantee better outcomes: Wright achieves top results at $13,693 per student, while Cox spends $16,510 with the weakest performance. With six of seven schools at 100% free/reduced lunch eligibility, this is a high-poverty area, but Wright's success demonstrates strong outcomes are achievable within this district context.
