Summary

Emanuel County Institute is a combined middle and high school in Twin City, GA, serving 572 students in grades 6 through 12 as part of the Emanuel County district.

This school stands out for its exceptional performance in social studies and science. In U.S. History, 61.6% of students scored proficient—far above the state average of 38.5%—and the school has outperformed the state in this subject for four straight years. Eighth-grade science proficiency (57.6%) nearly doubles the state average (29.7%), and 8th-grade social studies (63.8%) also towers over the state (40.2%). Middle-grade math is another strength, with 6th-grade math proficiency at 68% versus 40.7% statewide. The school also maintains a strong 93.3% graduation rate and lower chronic absenteeism (13.9%) than the district or state. Notably, male students earn a 4-star subgroup rating, ranking in the 75th percentile statewide.

However, there are challenges. Algebra I proficiency (34.9%) lags behind both the district (42.6%) and state (48.1%), a contrast to the strong middle-grade math results. Biology has improved dramatically, climbing from 24.6% to 46.6% in three years, now nearly matching the state average. Compared to nearby schools, Emanuel County Institute ranks highest overall (151st statewide) and dominates Swainsboro High School in U.S. History (61.6% vs. 30.8%), Biology (46.6% vs. 34.8%), and graduation rate (93.3% vs. 86.2%). However, Portal Middle/High School outperforms it in Algebra I (55.3% vs. 34.9%) and Biology (50.6% vs. 46.6%).

Overall, Emanuel County Institute is on an upward trajectory, rebounding from a 2-star rating in 2022-2023 to a solid 3-star rating. With efficient spending ($13,858 per student) and a favorable 13.4:1 student-teacher ratio, the school is delivering strong results in several key areas while continuing to address gaps in high-school math. Note: Georgia’s current test release does not include ELA scores; those will be available in December.
