What Heart of Georgia RESA’s numbers show
  • Georgia’s published chronic absenteeism rate is 20.4%. 4 of the 10 districts are above it. Highest: Wilcox County 32.7%, Pulaski County 26.6%, Telfair County 26.1%.
  • Georgia’s published graduation rate is 87.22%. 1 of the 10 districts falls below it. Lowest: Treutlen County 78.43%.
  • In EOC — American Literature and Composition, the published Beginning Learner share runs as high as 41.8% in Dublin City, followed by Treutlen County at 39.0%, Dodge County at 34.6%. Beginning Learner is Georgia’s own lowest achievement level — students not yet demonstrating proficiency in the grade-level standards.
  • Georgia publishes chronic absenteeism separately for students with and without disabilities — 25.1% and 19.6% statewide. In 10 of the 10 districts the published rate for students with disabilities is the higher of the two.
  • Out-of-school suspension, as published: highest in Treutlen County at 9.7%, Laurens County at 8.1%, Montgomery County at 7.2%. Georgia publishes no statewide suspension figure in this file, so there is no state rate to compare these against.
  • 10 of the 10 districts have no published PBIS implementation rating for any school (Bleckley County, Dodge County, Dublin City, Laurens County, Montgomery County, Pulaski County, Telfair County, Treutlen County, Wheeler County, Wilcox County). The rating reflects a submitted state fidelity review, so this is a gap in published visibility rather than proof of anything about the program itself.

Four-year graduation rate against Georgia's published rate

Published rate per district. The line is Georgia's own published statewide rate.

Achievement levels as the state reports them

The four published achievement-level percentages for each district, stacked. Georgia publishes no statewide row for assessment, so there is no state comparison — these are absolute published shares.

Beginning Learner Developing Learner Proficient Learner Distinguished Learner

The vertical rule marks the proficiency standard — segments to its right are students at Proficient or Distinguished. Ordered by the published Beginning Learner share. EOG grades 3–8 — English Language Arts.

Chronic absenteeism, as published by student group

Each district's published rate for students with and without disabilities. Dashed lines are Georgia's published statewide rates for the same two groups.

Suspension, as published

Share of students given in-school and out-of-school suspension at least once. Georgia publishes no statewide row in this file, so there is no state line to draw.

Published PBIS implementation ratings

Georgia publishes this rating for individual schools. Select a district to see its schools. A school with no rating is not necessarily a school without the program — the rating reflects a submitted state fidelity review.

What is and isn’t here. Georgia publishes statewide figures for chronic absenteeism (including separately by student group), graduation rate and enrollment characteristics, so those are shown against the state. Georgia does not publish a statewide row for assessment results or discipline, so those are shown on their own absolute scale with no state comparison — rather than against an average we would have had to compute ourselves. Heart of Georgia RESA does not publish a regional figure of its own for anything. The four tiles near the top of this page are the one exception: an enrollment-weighted average across Heart of Georgia RESA’s own 10 member districts, calculated by Standard Education and labeled as such, shown next to Georgia’s real published statewide figure for comparison. Every other figure on this page remains exactly as published — never averaged, blended or ranked by us.
