Summary

Miller County High School is a public high school in Colquitt, Georgia, serving 243 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Miller County School District, which is ranked 147 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Miller County High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia high schools over the past decade, with a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average compared to other high schools in the state. The school's four-year graduation rates have fluctuated, ranging from 84.4% to 93.9%, which are generally higher than the state average but still show room for improvement. Academically, the school's performance on the Georgia Milestones Assessments is significantly below the state average across various subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from as low as 3.3% to 40.4%, while the state averages range from 35.8% to 47.6%. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 64.61% to 100%, indicating a significant socioeconomic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, the nearby Early County High School and Seminole County Middle/High School also face similar challenges, with low rankings, academic performance, and high rates of socioeconomic disadvantage among their student populations. This suggests that the issues faced by Miller County High School are not unique and may require a collaborative approach with neighboring schools to identify and implement effective strategies to drive meaningful improvements.

What people are saying

by a teacher
Saturday, August 18, 2018

This school system is wretched. Small minded town filled with hateful people. If you are not from this area, they let you know that you are not welcomed. The teachers even bully the students. I went to school there and was told in Middle School that I was going to Hell by a teacher. When I got to High School the school guidance counselor told me was poor white trash that would not make it far in life. Yes the people that are supposed to support students spend their time putting them down. Its no wonder their EOC scores and rankings are so low, its a toxic environment! I would NOT move back and put my children in that system. Close Quote
