Summary

Warren County High School in Warrenton, GA, serves roughly 187 students in grades 9–12 in a small rural community about 20 miles west of Augusta, and it is part of the Warren County district.

The most encouraging news for parents is the school’s graduation rate. At 92.6% for 2024–2025, it beats the state average of 87.2% and has climbed steadily from 81.4% five years ago. This means the school is doing a strong job of keeping students on track to earn a diploma, even while serving a student body where 80% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. That graduation success stands out when compared to nearby Hancock Central High School (82.8%) and Glascock County Middle/High School (86.1%). Attendance is also improving—chronic absenteeism dropped from 32.8% to 25.6% in a single year, though it remains above the state rate of 17.7%.

However, academic proficiency in core subjects is a significant concern. Only 12.5% of students are proficient in Algebra I and 11.8% in Biology, compared to state averages of 48.1% and 47.2%. These numbers have stayed consistently low for four years. The school’s strongest subject is U.S. History, where 33.3% of students are proficient, approaching the state average of 38.5%. By contrast, Thomson High School—a larger school about 12 miles away—posts much higher proficiency in Algebra I and Biology, despite spending far less per student ($12,906 vs. Warren County’s $23,578). There is also a notable gender gap: female students rank in the 6th percentile statewide, while male students rank in the 49th percentile. In short, Warren County excels at graduating students but faces persistent challenges in delivering grade-level academic mastery, making it a school worth watching as attendance improvements may eventually translate into better test scores.

Open Quote 10:1 student teacher ratio, a student body of 200 students, and test scores are abysmal. What is wrong with this place? Maybe a change is needed at the top. Too bad so much emphasis is placed on athletics and not academics; in the long run, which will serve our students more? Close Quote
