Summary:
The Worth County school district in Georgia consists of 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative school). The district faces significant challenges, with all schools performing below state averages on standardized tests and serving a high-poverty student population.
Worth County High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 156th to 252nd out of 429-458 Georgia high schools, and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school's 83.6% four-year graduation rate is a positive. In contrast, the Worth County Achievement Center, an alternative high school, has a very low enrollment of just 21 students and a significantly lower four-year graduation rate of 35.3%.
Across the district, all 5 schools have 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very high-poverty student population. Per-student spending ranges from $7,639 at Worth County Elementary to $10,505 at the Worth County Achievement Center, which is below the state average. This lack of funding may contribute to the district's overall academic challenges, as reflected in consistently lower proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones assessments compared to state averages.
