Summary

Screven County High School in Sylvania, GA, serves approximately 609 students in grades 9-12 and has earned a 4-star rating, ranking 96th out of 455 high schools statewide—a strong position in the upper quintile of Georgia schools.

This school has shown remarkable improvement over the past decade, climbing from a 2-star rating in 2015-2016 to maintaining a 4-star rating for six consecutive years. The standout achievement is in United States History, where 75.2% of students scored proficient or above in the most recent year—nearly double the state average of 38.5%. This pattern has been consistent for several years, with the school outperforming the state by roughly 30-37 percentage points. Mathematics and Biology also show strength, with Algebra I proficiency at 50% (state: 48.1%) and Biology at 48.3% (state: 47.2%). The graduation rate improved to 88.5%, exceeding the state average of 87.2%, and the dropout rate of 1.8% is below the state's 2.4%. These results are particularly notable given that about 74.7% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Compared to nearby Jenkins County High School, Screven County significantly outperforms in most subjects—for example, 75.2% versus 41.5% in U.S. History—while spending less per student ($13,891 vs. $16,772) and maintaining a higher student-teacher ratio. The Screven County district also ranks much higher than Jenkins County's district. The main concern is chronic absenteeism, which sits at 25.2%—well above the state average of 17.7% and rising steadily. While this is a challenge to watch, the school's strong academic performance despite this issue suggests that engaged students are thriving, and the school's track record of improvement offers reason for optimism.
