Clinch County

The Clinch County school district in Georgia consists of three schools: Clinch County Elementary School, Clinch County High School, and Clinch 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 statewide rankings.

The proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly low across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, at Clinch County Elementary School, only 22.2% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA compared to the state average of 34.9%. Similarly, Clinch County High School lags the state on End of Course exam proficiency, with only 26.3% of students proficient in American Literature and Composition versus 40.4% statewide. The middle school also struggles, with just 21.5% of 8th graders proficient in ELA compared to 39.8% across Georgia.

The schools' low performance is further reflected in their statewide rankings, which range from 807 out of 1,238 elementary schools for the elementary school to 267 out of 452 high schools for the high school. The schools' SchoolDigger star ratings are also below average, ranging from 1 to 3 out of 5 stars. Additionally, the schools have high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.93% at the high school to 85.85% at the elementary school. While the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, the data suggests systemic issues within the Clinch County district that are impacting student outcomes.
