Miller County High School

Summary:

Miller County High School is a public high school located in Colquitt, Georgia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 248 students. The school is part of the Miller County School District, which is ranked 122 out of 203 districts in Georgia and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Miller County High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia high schools, ranging from 262 to 358 out of 420-458 schools over the past 10 years, and has maintained a 1 or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average compared to other high schools in the state. The school's graduation rates have fluctuated, ranging from 81.4% to 96.0% over the past 5 years, and its performance on the Georgia Milestones Assessments is significantly below the state average across all subject areas and grade levels. Additionally, 100% of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a predominantly low-income student population.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Early County High School and Seminole County Middle/High School, Miller County High School appears to be performing worse. Seminole County Middle/High School has a higher statewide ranking, better graduation rates, and higher proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones Assessments. While the increased per-student spending at Miller County High School could provide an opportunity to invest in resources and strategies to support student learning, the school's consistently low performance and socioeconomic challenges indicate a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

Open Quote This school system is wretched. Small minded town filled with hateful people. If you are not from this area, they let you know that you are not welcomed. The teachers even bully the students. I went to school there and was told in Middle School that I was going to Hell by a teacher. When I got to High School the school guidance counselor told me was poor white trash that would not make it far in life. Yes the people that are supposed to support students spend their time putting them down. Its no wonder their EOC scores and rankings are so low, its a toxic environment! I would NOT move back and put my children in that system. Close Quote

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.
