Brantley County High School

Summary:

Brantley County High School is a public high school located in Nahunta, Georgia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 902 students. The school is part of the Brantley County school district and has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past 10 years, currently ranking 119th out of 458 Georgia high schools with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brantley County High School has shown steady improvement in its 4-year graduation rates, increasing from 82.8% in 2017-2018 to a peak of 94.4% in 2019-2020, though the rate has since dipped slightly. In comparison, the nearby Pierce County High School had a 93.8% 4-year graduation rate in 2021-2022. However, Brantley County High School's performance on the Georgia Milestones Assessments has been mixed, with the school outperforming the state average in 2023-2024 but underperforming in Algebra I and U.S. History in the previous two years. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.5% to 70.07%, compared to 44.14% at Pierce County High School.

Despite these challenges, Brantley County High School has shown positive progress in its overall statewide ranking and graduation rates. The school's relatively stable spending per student and decreasing student-teacher ratio may have contributed to these improvements. However, the comparison with the higher-performing Pierce County High School highlights the potential for Brantley County High School to learn from its counterpart's best practices and strategies to further enhance student outcomes, particularly in academic performance.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
