High Schools in Jenkins County

Summary:

Jenkins County, Georgia has only one high school, Jenkins County High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has faced declining performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 214 out of 442 Georgia high schools in 2022-2023 to 280 out of 452 in 2024-2025, earning a 2-star rating.

Jenkins County High School struggles with lower-than-average proficiency rates on state assessments, particularly in subjects like Algebra I, Biology, and American Literature and Composition. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.6, which could allow for more individualized attention. The school also serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 69.51% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $14,588 in the 2018-2019 school year, the academic challenges at Jenkins County High School suggest that the Jenkins County school district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and implement targeted interventions to support student learning and achievement.
