Summary

Bryan County High School in Pembroke, GA, serves approximately 522 students in grades 9–12 and is part of the highly rated Bryan County district, which holds a 5-star rating and ranks in the top 10% of districts statewide.

This school is on a remarkable upward trajectory. Over the past four years, Bryan County High School has climbed from the 31st percentile to the 73rd percentile in state rankings—a jump of 175 positions—earning a 4-star rating for the 2025–2026 school year. The school now outperforms the state average in Biology (51.8% vs. 47.2% proficient) and especially U.S. History (48.9% vs. 38.5% proficient, a 10-point margin). Female students are a standout subgroup, ranking in the 75th percentile statewide, and special education students also perform above the median for their subgroup. With a low student-to-teacher ratio of 10.9:1—far better than nearby New Hampstead High School (14.8:1) or Southeast Bulloch High School (17.4:1)—students benefit from more individualized attention. The school also spends more per student ($16,927) than any comparable school in the area, including South Effingham High School ($12,589).

However, there are clear areas for growth. Chronic absenteeism stands at 25.4%—roughly double the district rate and the highest among nearby schools except Claxton High School. Algebra I proficiency, while improving dramatically (from 20.1% to 44.4% in three years), still trails the state average. The graduation rate of 89.0% exceeds the state (87.2%) but lags the district (94.5%). Given the school’s proven ability to improve, tackling attendance and continuing Algebra I gains could push Bryan County High School into the top 20% of Georgia high schools in the coming years.
