Best Public Schools in Cuthbert, GA

The city of Cuthbert, Georgia is home to three public schools serving students from elementary through high school: Randolph County Elementary School, Randolph Clay High School, and Randolph County Middle School. Unfortunately, the data indicates that all three schools are performing well below the state average on key metrics like test scores and graduation rates, suggesting systemic challenges within the Randolph County district.

While Randolph County Elementary School has the highest test scores among the three, with 3rd grade ELA and math proficiency rates above the state average, the school's overall ranking and ratings from SchoolDigger are still quite low. Randolph Clay High School has a better-than-average graduation rate of 85.4%, but its test scores are significantly lower than the Georgia averages across all subject areas. Lastly, Randolph County Middle School has the lowest test scores of the three, with proficiency rates well below the state levels in both ELA and math.

The data also reveals that the Cuthbert area faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with all three schools having extremely high free/reduced lunch rates (100% at two schools). Despite the high spending per student at Randolph Clay High School, this does not translate to better performance compared to the other schools, raising questions about the efficient use of resources and the factors driving student achievement in the Cuthbert community.
