Summary:
Zip code 30643 is home to one high school, Hart County High School, which serves grades 9–12 in Hartwell, Georgia, within the Hart County school district.
Hart County High School stands out for its exceptional graduation rate of 97.0% for 2024–2025, nearly 10 points above the state average of 87.2%, and its low dropout rate of 1.0% compared to the state's 2.4%. This is particularly noteworthy given that 85.53% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income student body. The school has maintained a stable 3-star rating and a mid-50th percentile state ranking over three years, showing consistent performance rather than dramatic swings. Chronic absenteeism sits at 16.1%, below the state average of 17.7% but above the district's 13.1%.
Academically, the school shows clear strengths and weaknesses. Biology is its strongest subject, with 46.7% proficiency in 2025–2026, nearly matching the state average of 47.2%. However, U.S. History proficiency is a significant concern at just 21.0%, far below the state's 38.5%, though this represents improvement from 13.8% the prior year. Algebra I proficiency (43.4%) trails the state average (48.1%) and lags the district average by over 10 points, suggesting a need for targeted math intervention. Per-student spending is moderate at $12,560, with a student–teacher ratio of 15.9:1. Overall, Hart County High School effectively supports students toward graduation despite economic challenges, but subject-specific gaps in history and math remain areas for improvement.
