Omega’s public schools outscore 52% of Georgia districts

The grade covers the public school district serving Omega, from kindergarten through graduation, on state tests and graduation. 95% of Omega’s students graduate on time, above the Georgia average (84%). Each state writes its own tests, so this is the one TownRatings grade compared within Georgia, not nationally.
