Summary:
The 39840 zip code area is home to three underperforming schools - Randolph County Elementary School, Randolph Clay High School, and Randolph County Middle School. These schools, which serve students from pre-K through 12th grade, are all performing significantly below the state average on key metrics like test scores and statewide rankings.
The data shows that all three schools have very low proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones assessments, with scores well below the state averages in both English language arts and math. For example, Randolph County Elementary School's 3rd grade ELA proficiency was just 38.5% compared to the state average of 34.9%, and its 5th grade math proficiency was only 17.1% versus the state's 42.6%. Additionally, the schools are all ranked in the bottom half of their respective categories statewide, with the Randolph County school district as a whole ranked 168 out of 206 districts in Georgia and rated just 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Further analysis reveals that these schools face significant challenges, including extremely high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 87.76% at Randolph Clay High to 100% at the elementary and middle schools. The per-student spending also varies widely, from $10,914 at the middle school to $16,911 at the high school, which may indicate unequal resource allocation within the district. Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of the schools in the 39840 zip code area, with little to no improvement in their performance over time, suggesting the need for comprehensive interventions to address the underlying factors contributing to their widespread underperformance.
