Summary

Schley Middle High School in Ellaville, GA, serves 649 students in grades 6 through 12 and is part of the top-ranked Schley County district, which holds a 5-star rating and ranks 9th out of 201 districts statewide.

This school is a standout academic performer, currently ranked 47th out of 455 Georgia high schools—a dramatic climb from 164th a decade ago. It has maintained a 4-star rating for six consecutive years, and its graduation rate of 95.4% outpaces the state average of 87.2%. What makes this even more impressive is how consistently students perform across every subject. In the latest testing cycle, proficiency rates were well above state averages in all areas—from 6th-grade math (64.1% vs. 40.7% statewide) to high school US History (72.3% vs. 38.5% statewide). Chronic absenteeism is also remarkably low at 8.7%, less than half the state average of 17.7%, suggesting students are engaged and showing up ready to learn.

The contrast with nearby schools is striking. While Marion County Middle/High School, Webster County High School, Macon County High School, and Sumter County High School all rank in the bottom 25% of the state, Schley sits in the top 10%. For example, 68.1% of Schley students are proficient in Algebra I, compared to rates between 11% and 26.5% at those neighboring schools. Schley also achieves these results while spending less per student ($12,114) than several of its lower-performing peers—a testament to efficient resource use. For parents seeking a school with proven, sustained academic excellence in a region where many schools struggle, Schley Middle High School is a clear standout.
