Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 93.3% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 54% above the Georgia average and 80% above the national baseline.
On the finance side, the surrounding Carroll County spends $15,321 per pupil district-wide, below the Georgia average of $15,679 and below the national average of $19,490.
