Summary:

The city of Bainbridge, Georgia is home to two high schools: Bainbridge High School and New Beginning Learning Center. While Bainbridge High School is a relatively strong-performing school, ranking in the top 30% of Georgia high schools, New Beginning Learning Center appears to be struggling academically, ranking in the bottom 5% statewide.

Bainbridge High School has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and a 85.4% four-year graduation rate, which is higher than the state average. The school outperforms the Decatur County district and the state of Georgia in several Milestones Assessment test scores, including Algebra I, Biology, and US History. In contrast, New Beginning Learning Center has a 0-star rating and very low proficiency rates on Milestones Assessments, with 0% proficiency in several subject areas.

The data suggests that the Bainbridge area may have a high level of economic disadvantage, with 64.12% of Bainbridge High School students and 100% of New Beginning Learning Center students on free/reduced lunch. Additionally, the lower spending per student at New Beginning Learning Center ($6,751) compared to Bainbridge High School ($9,318) and the higher student-teacher ratio at New Beginning Learning Center (31.3) may be contributing factors to the school's poor academic performance.
