Summary

Wheeler County High School is a public high school located in Alamo, Georgia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 265 students. The school is part of the Wheeler County School District, which is ranked 66 out of 206 districts in Georgia and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Wheeler County High School's performance has been mixed, with fluctuating graduation rates ranging from 84.4% to 90.1% in recent years. The school's performance on the Milestones Assessments has also been uneven, outperforming the state in some subject areas but underperforming in others. The school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. However, the school's student-teacher ratio is relatively low, ranging from 13.3 to 15.2, suggesting a potentially more personalized learning environment.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Treutlen Middle/High School, Montgomery County High School, and Telfair County High School, Wheeler County High School generally performs at a similar or slightly lower level in terms of test scores and graduation rates. However, the school's lower student-teacher ratio could be a potential strength. With the right strategies and resources, Wheeler County High School has the opportunity to improve its overall academic performance and provide a more equitable and effective education for its students.
