High Schools in Treutlen County

Treutlen Middle/High School is the sole high school in rural Treutlen County, serving grades 6 through 12 with 521 students in Soperton. The school has shown steady improvement in its state ranking, climbing from the 43rd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 50th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 3-star rating. Nearly all students (98.27%) qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the school maintains a favorable 11.6:1 student-teacher ratio with per-student spending of $15,280.

Academically, the school presents a mixed picture. Its strongest subject is U.S. History, where 45.6% of students score proficient—7.1 points above the state average and a remarkable 10.7-point improvement over the prior year. Algebra I also improved dramatically, jumping from 29.9% to 42.5% proficiency, though it still trails the state by 5.6 points. However, Biology remains a significant concern at just 26.2% proficiency, a staggering 21 points below the state and a 17-point drop from the previous year. Middle grades math shows a troubling pattern, with proficiency declining across all grade levels—8th grade math fell from 45.5% to 30.7%, now 15.6 points below the state average. The school's graduation rate of 78.4% trails the state by 8.8 points, and chronic absenteeism affects 24.9% of students, well above the state's 17.7%.

For parents, this school offers genuine bright spots—particularly in social studies and high school math—but faces real challenges in science and middle school foundations. The volatility in scores across subjects and years suggests significant cohort-to-cohort variability. The improving state ranking and star rating indicate positive momentum, but the combination of high poverty, elevated absenteeism, and below-average performance in several core subjects means the school has substantial work ahead. The district's strong resource allocation (favorable student-teacher ratio and above-average spending) provides a foundation, yet translating those inputs into consistent academic gains remains the key challenge for this transitioning school.
