Summary

Statesboro STEAM Academy is a public charter high school serving grades 5-12 in Statesboro, Georgia, part of the State Specialty Schools II- Statesboro STEAM Academy district. While the school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, reaching as high as 129 out of 429 Georgia high schools in 2021-2022, its performance has declined in recent years, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger in 2024-2025.

Statesboro STEAM Academy faces several challenges, including lower test scores compared to state averages across all subjects and grade levels, and a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 64.04% to 64.92% in recent years. This suggests the school serves a predominantly low-income population. However, the school's spending per student is higher than the state average, and it has a lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, which may indicate a more personalized learning environment.

Interestingly, the nearby traditional public schools, such as Metter High School, Metter College and Career Academy, Portal Middle/High School, and Southeast Bulloch High School, generally outperform Statesboro STEAM Academy on test scores and graduation rates, suggesting that the local public school options may provide a stronger academic foundation for students.
