Crisp County High School is a public high school located in Cordele, Georgia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,050 students. The school is part of the Crisp County School District, which is ranked 193 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crisp County High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia high schools, with proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones assessments significantly below the state average across all subject areas. Compared to nearby schools like Wilcox County High School, which has higher proficiency rates, and Dooly County High School, which has lower proficiency rates, Crisp County High School's academic performance is concerning. The school's four-year graduation rate, while slightly below the state average, is similar to that of nearby schools.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Crisp County High School, ranging from 81.33% to 98.99% over the past few years, is significantly higher than nearby schools and likely contributes to the school's academic challenges. Additionally, Crisp County High School spends less per student and has a higher student-teacher ratio compared to higher-performing schools in the area, which may also be a factor in its lower academic outcomes. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, increased funding, and collaboration with the local community and education stakeholders.
