Summary

Montgomery County High School in Mount Vernon, GA, serves approximately 264 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the Montgomery County district. Over the past decade, the school has climbed from the 14th percentile statewide to the 55th percentile, a remarkable turnaround that now places it at 205th out of 455 high schools in Georgia.

The school’s standout achievement is its graduation rate of 97.0% for 2024-2025—nearly 10 points above the state average of 87.2% and far higher than nearby Treutlen Middle/High School (78.4%). This success comes despite the fact that 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school also excels in U.S. History, consistently beating the state average by wide margins—most recently 65% proficiency in 2024-2025 versus 38.6% statewide. Biology has improved significantly, rising from 36.1% to 51.9% over three years, now above the state average and better than Toombs County High School (31.8%) and Vidalia Comprehensive High School (35%). Chronic absenteeism has also dropped dramatically, from 20.7% to 12.4%, now well below the state average of 17.7%.

Algebra I remains a persistent challenge, with only 27.5% proficiency in 2025-2026 compared to the state average of 48.1%. While nearby schools like Wheeler County High School (46.6%) and Toombs County (45%) perform better in this subject, Montgomery County still outperforms Vidalia (14%). The school invests heavily in its students, spending $16,396 per pupil—more than any nearby school—and maintains a favorable 12.5:1 student-teacher ratio. With a 3-star rating for six consecutive years and a graduation rate that rivals the best in the region, Montgomery County High School demonstrates that strong outcomes are achievable even under challenging economic circumstances.
