Academically, Jenkins County High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia high schools, with proficiency rates on the Milestones Assessments generally below the state average. Compared to nearby schools like Portal Middle/High School and Screven County High School, Jenkins County High School lags behind in academic performance.

One notable factor is the high percentage of students at Jenkins County High School who are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.51% to 93.15% over the past few years.
