High Schools in Stewart County

Stewart County, Georgia is home to a single high school, Stewart County High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia high schools, with a performance rating of 1 or 2 stars out of 5 on the SchoolDigger scale, indicating below-average performance.

Stewart County High School's 4-year graduation rate of 85.4% is slightly below the state average, and the school's proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones assessments are generally lower than the state averages across subjects like American Literature, Algebra I, and Biology. For example, in 2024-2025, only 27.3% of students were proficient or better in American Literature, compared to the state average of 40.4%. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, with 87.39% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $18,471 in the 2018-2019 school year, which is higher than the state average, the school's performance suggests that resources may not be effectively allocated or utilized to improve student outcomes. Addressing the challenges faced by Stewart County High School, including targeted interventions and support, may be necessary to help improve the overall quality of education provided to students in the Stewart County school district.
