Best High Schools in Adel, GA

Summary:

The city of Adel, Georgia has only one high school, Cook High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. Located in Cook County, the school has a mixed performance record, with some strengths and areas for improvement.

Cook High School's four-year graduation rate of 85.4% in the 2023-2024 school year is a positive indicator of student success. However, the school's performance on the Georgia Milestones assessments has been somewhat inconsistent, with scores declining in some subjects from 2023-2024 to 2024-2025 compared to state averages. The school performed below the state average in American Literature/Composition and Biology, but exceeded the state average in Algebra I and US History.

Notably, 63.3% of Cook High School students received free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.6 in 2023-2024 may contribute to more individualized attention for students, which could be a factor in the school's strong graduation rate. Overall, Cook High School faces challenges in ensuring academic success for all students, but also has some strengths that could be leveraged to improve performance across the board.
