Summary

Stewart County High School is a small, rural high school in Lumpkin, GA, serving 114 students in grades 9 through 12 within the Stewart County district.

The most striking story at Stewart County High is its success in keeping students engaged and on track to graduate. The school achieved a perfect 100% graduation rate for the 2024-2025 school year, far exceeding the state average of 87.2% and the 88.8% rate at nearby Chattahoochee County High School. This follows strong rates of 91.7% and 95.8% in the prior two years. Chronic absenteeism is also remarkably low at just 4.3%, compared to the state average of 17.7% and a stark contrast to Webster County High School, which struggles with a 21.5% rate. With a very low student-teacher ratio of 8.7 to 1 and high per-student spending of $27,380, the school appears to provide a highly personalized, supportive environment that keeps students coming to school and seeing them through to graduation.

Academically, the school faces clear challenges. Proficiency rates in Algebra I (25%), Biology (27.5%), and U.S. History (21.7%) are all well below state averages (48.1%, 47.2%, and 38.5%, respectively). However, there are signs of progress. Algebra I proficiency jumped dramatically from 13.2% in 2023-2024 to 48.5% in 2024-2025, before settling at 25% in 2025-2026. The school’s state ranking also improved from 396th in 2023-2024 to 284th in 2024-2025, though it slipped to 360th in 2025-2026. Compared to its peers, Stewart County outperforms Webster County in most subjects but lags behind Chattahoochee County. The combination of exceptional retention metrics and a recent upward trajectory in rankings suggests a school that, despite academic hurdles, is building a strong foundation for future success.
