Student demographics

Very small groups may be suppressed in the source, so categories do not always sum exactly to total enrollment.

What this means: About 46% of students here test proficient in math and reading, well above the roughly 27% typical for Georgia schools with a similar share of low-income students. BeatsExpectations ranks schools against others at the same poverty level, not by raw scores, so a school can post high scores and still fall short of its prediction, or post lower scores and still beat it. This school clears its prediction by about 19 points, placing it in Georgia's top 10%.
