Summary:
Clinch County Elementary School, Clinch County Middle School, and Clinch County High School serve the city of Homerville, Georgia, as part of the Clinch County district, which covers grades PK-12 and ranks in the 35th percentile statewide with a 2-star rating.
For parents, the standout story here is Clinch County High School, which is the district's strongest performer. It has improved its state ranking over two years, boasts a graduation rate of 88.6% (above the state's 87.2%), and has a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 6.2%—far better than the state average of 17.7%. The high school also matches or exceeds state averages in Biology, and its per-student spending ($17,253) is significantly higher than the middle school's ($12,612), with a lower student-teacher ratio of 12.2. In contrast, Clinch County Elementary School has seen its ranking slip from the 51st to the 32nd percentile over two years, though it shows a bright spot in 4th grade math, where 55% of students are proficient—exceeding the state average of 50.1% and marking a 17.4-point jump from the prior year. Clinch County Middle School struggles most in 8th grade science, where only 13.9% of students are proficient versus the state's 29.7%.
Across all three schools, proficiency rates trail state averages in most subjects, but context matters: 100% of elementary and middle school students qualify for free/reduced lunch, and 91% do at the high school level. Despite this, chronic absenteeism is a district-wide strength, with all schools well below the state average. Year-over-year swings in scores—like a +11.9-point jump in high school Biology and an -8.9-point drop in Algebra I—suggest small cohort sizes, so single-year results should be viewed cautiously. English Language Arts scores for 2025-2026 are not yet available and will be released in December; the most recent data shows all grades below state averages.
