Summary

Liberty County High School in Hinesville, GA, serves approximately 1,192 students in grades 9–12 and is part of the Liberty County School District. The school has shown meaningful improvement this year, jumping to the 58th percentile statewide (a 3-star rating) after several years in the 41st–50th percentile range—its best performance since 2020–2021.

Liberty County High has clear academic strengths. In Biology, 43.6% of students scored proficient, well above the district's 31.1% and close to the state's 47.2%. U.S. History is another bright spot, with 42.9% proficiency—exceeding the state average of 38.5%. The school also boasts a graduation rate of 91.0%, consistently above the state's 87.2% for five straight years. Hispanic students at the school rank in the 72nd percentile statewide, the highest subgroup ranking at the school. Compared to Bradwell Institute, the district's other high school just 3.4 miles away, Liberty County High outperforms it in nearly every metric—including Biology (43.6% vs. 23.1%), Algebra I (30.8% vs. 17.9%), and U.S. History (42.9% vs. 31.8%).

The biggest challenge is chronic absenteeism. At 42.3%, it's nearly 2.5 times the state average (17.7%), though it has improved from 50.7% last year. Algebra I remains a concern, with only 30.8% proficient versus 48.1% statewide—though that's nearly double last year's 16%. The school also spends more per student ($13,116) than nearby Richmond Hill High School ($11,026) and Long County High School ($9,173), yet Long County achieves higher proficiency in most subjects. With 74.5% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school faces real socioeconomic hurdles, but the 2025–2026 data suggests positive momentum—improved rankings, rising test scores, and a declining absenteeism rate.
