High Schools in Worth County

Summary:

Worth County, Georgia is home to two high schools: Worth County High School and Worth County Achievement Center. While both schools maintain similar graduation rates, they face distinct challenges in academic performance and serving high-need student populations.

Worth County High School has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 156 in 2022-2023 to 301 in 2024-2025. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly below the state averages in all subject areas, indicating academic underperformance. However, the school maintains a graduation rate on par with the state average at 85.4% in the 2023-2024 school year. With a relatively high free and reduced lunch rate of 58.27%, the school serves a high-need student population.

In contrast, Worth County Achievement Center, a smaller alternative high school, maintains the same 85.4% graduation rate as Worth County High School. However, the Achievement Center serves an even more economically disadvantaged student body, with a 100% free and reduced lunch rate. Despite the challenges, the school spends slightly more per student ($10,505) compared to Worth County High School ($10,330) in the 2018-2019 school year.
