Summary:

Bulloch County is a rural Georgia district of 15 public schools—9 elementary, 3 middle, and 3 high schools—serving roughly 10,000 students, with the district ranking 75th out of 201 Georgia districts (3 stars) and facing high economic disadvantage, as free/reduced lunch rates range from 70% to 100% across all schools.

For parents, the standout story is the Southeast Bulloch cluster, which forms a clear pipeline of success. Brooklet Elementary School (86th percentile) leads the district with 3rd grade math proficiency 22 points above the state, while Southeast Bulloch Middle School (85th percentile) posts exceptional math scores—including 100% Algebra I proficiency—and Southeast Bulloch High School (69th percentile) tops the district with a 91.5% graduation rate and a 1.4% dropout rate. Other strong performers include Nevils Elementary School (76th percentile), Stilson Elementary School (78th percentile, up 27 points in two years), and Julia P. Bryant Elementary School (75th percentile). In contrast, Langston Chapel Elementary School (16th percentile) and Mill Creek Elementary School (22nd percentile) struggle significantly, with 5th grade math proficiency below 20%—less than half the state average. Statesboro High School (40th percentile) also lags, with Algebra I proficiency 17 points below the state and the district's highest dropout rate at 3.4%.

A clear geographic pattern emerges: rural eastern schools (Brooklet, Nevils, Stilson, Portal) generally outperform Statesboro city schools. Chronic absenteeism tracks closely with performance—top schools like Brooklet (13.7%) and Nevils (15.3%) have the lowest rates, while struggling schools like Langston Chapel Middle School (21.7%) and Statesboro High (27.2%) have the highest. Notably, spending does not predict outcomes: Mattie Lively Elementary School spends the most ($17,734 per student) yet ranks mid-pack, while Brooklet spends near the minimum ($13,623) and excels. The district's 20.3% chronic absenteeism rate exceeds the state's 17.7%, suggesting attendance interventions could be a high-leverage strategy. Note that current-year ELA scores are not yet available; they will be released in December.
