Summary:
Zip code 31775 in Omega, GA, is served by a single elementary school, Omega Elementary School, which enrolls 314 students in grades PK through 5 within the Tift County district.
Omega Elementary School stands out for its high level of investment per student at $16,761, paired with a favorable 12.5:1 student-teacher ratio. The school serves a student body where 100% qualify for free/reduced lunch, and it has maintained a consistent 3-star rating over the past three years, ranking in the 54th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year. Academically, the school shows a clear strength in 3rd-grade math, where 57.9% of students are proficient—nearly 10 points above the state average. In the most recent ELA data (2024-2025), the school outperformed its district in all three grade levels tested, though 5th-grade ELA lagged the state by 14.4 points. Upper-grade performance is more mixed: 4th and 5th-grade math fall below state averages, and 5th-grade science is 7.5 points behind the state.
One of the most notable trends is significant year-over-year volatility, likely due to the small cohort sizes. Between 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, 5th-grade math jumped 11.4 points and 5th-grade science improved 11.0 points, while 4th-grade math dropped 8.1 points. This suggests that individual classes can dramatically shift results. Chronic absenteeism affects 19.7% of students—better than the district's 24.0% but above the state's 17.7%. While the school's spending and staffing are strong, its mid-range ranking indicates that the high poverty concentration may present challenges that resources alone cannot fully address. The recent gains in 5th-grade math and science are encouraging signs that interventions may be taking hold, offering hope for continued improvement in the upper grades.
