The school's academic performance is significantly below state averages, with only 0.84% of 11th graders proficient or better in math, 19.33% in science, and 17.76% in English.

While Bullock County High School spends $12,016 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a student-teacher ratio of 19.4, slightly higher than the state average, these additional resources have not translated to improved student outcomes.
