Summary:
There is one high school in Colquitt, Georgia: Miller County High School, a small school serving grades 9–12 with 236 students in the Miller County district.
Miller County High School stands out for a dramatic improvement in Biology, with proficiency jumping from 8.8% in 2024–2025 to 66.1% in 2025–2026, well above the state average of 47.2%. This surge helped the school climb from 327th to 222nd in the state rankings and earn a 3-star rating. However, other subjects tell a different story. Algebra I proficiency fell sharply from 40.0% to 18.2%, now nearly 30 points below the state average. U.S. History also declined to 20.0%, about half the state rate. The school’s graduation rate is strong at 89.9%, exceeding the state’s 87.2%, and it maintains a favorable 10.1:1 student-teacher ratio with per-student spending of $18,379. Nearly 89% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a high-poverty population.
Chronic absenteeism sits at 18.6%, slightly above the state’s 17.7%, which for a school this size means roughly 44 students. The most recent dropout rate available is 4.5% from 2023–2024. While the Biology improvement is impressive, the declines in Algebra I and U.S. History suggest gains are not yet consistent across subjects. Parents should note that English Language Arts scores for 2025–2026 have not been released yet, so no conclusions can be drawn from that missing data. Overall, this is a school with strong resources and a positive trajectory, but targeted support in math and social studies will be essential to build on its recent momentum.
