Summary

Worth County High School is a public high school in Sylvester, Georgia, serving 865 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Worth County School District, which is ranked 122 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Worth County High School has seen fluctuating graduation rates, ranging from 84.4% to 92.4% in recent years, which is generally on par with nearby schools like Worth County Achievement Center. However, the school's test scores on the Milestones Assessments are generally lower than the state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 14.3% in Algebra I to 39.3% in United States History, compared to the state averages of 44.9% and 38.6%, respectively. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58.27% to 100%, which is significantly higher than the nearby Monroe High School and Dougherty Comprehensive High School.

Worth County High School's statewide ranking has been declining over the years, from 156 out of 442 Georgia high schools in 2022-2023 to 301 out of 452 in 2024-2025, suggesting the school is not keeping pace with the performance of other high schools in the state. While the school is generally on par with or slightly better than the nearby schools in the Worth County School District, it lags behind the performance of high schools in the neighboring Dougherty County district. The high poverty levels in the community may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance observed at Worth County High School, and the school could focus on improving test scores, particularly in subjects like Algebra I and American Literature and Composition.
