High Schools in Lamar County

Summary:

Lamar County, Georgia has only one high school, Lamar County High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school is part of the Lamar County School District, which is ranked 114 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lamar County High School has faced some academic challenges in recent years. Its statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 239 out of 452 Georgia high schools in 2024-2025 (2-star rating) to 327 out of 458 in 2023-2024 (1-star rating). The school's proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones Assessments are generally lower than the state averages across subjects like American Literature, Algebra I, Biology, and U.S. History. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (68.4%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.

Despite these challenges, Lamar County High School has a 4-year graduation rate of 85.4% for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's student-teacher ratio is 16.1 to 1, which is within a reasonable range. However, the relatively low spending per student ($9,089 for the 2018-2019 school year) may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance, as adequate funding is often crucial for providing quality educational resources and programs.
