While Stewart County High School has had varying graduation rates in recent years, ranging from 84.4% to 95.8%, its test scores on the Georgia Milestones Assessments are generally lower than the state averages and the nearby Chattahoochee County High School. For example, in 2024-2025, only 27.3% of Stewart County students were proficient or better in American Literature and Composition, compared to 29.5% at Chattahoochee County and 40.4% statewide. Additionally, Stewart County High School has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 87.39% to 100% over the past few years, significantly higher than the 58.95% rate at Chattahoochee County High School.

Despite spending significantly more per student than the nearby Webster County High School, ranging from $15,924 to $18,471 per student compared to $9,159 per student at Webster County, Stewart County High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years, dropping from a ranking of 158 out of 410 Georgia high schools in 2020-2021 to a ranking of 284 out of 452 in 2024-2025. This suggests that the school is facing challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and additional resources and support may be needed to address the needs of the school's high-poverty population.
