Quitman County High School

Summary:

Quitman County High School is a public high school in Georgetown, Georgia, serving 107 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Quitman County School District, which is ranked 202 out of 203 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Quitman County High School has consistently low proficiency rates on state assessments, with most subjects scoring below 20% proficiency, significantly lower than the state averages. The nearby Randolph Clay High School, also in a low-performing district, has slightly higher proficiency rates but still well below state levels. Quitman County High School's four-year graduation rates have fluctuated, ranging from 73.1% to 95.7% over the past five years, below the state average. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, Quitman County High School has not shown consistent improvement in its academic performance or statewide ranking over the years, suggesting that simply increasing resources may not be enough to address the underlying issues. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of Georgia high schools, and while the nearby Randolph Clay High School also serves a low-income population, it has slightly higher academic and graduation outcomes, indicating that other factors may contribute to Quitman County High School's challenges.

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.
