Summary:
Zip code 30810 is home to just one high school, Glascock County Middle/High School, a combined campus serving grades 6 through 12 in the rural community of Gibson, Georgia, with 304 students and a favorable 12.6:1 student-to-teacher ratio.
For parents, the standout story here is mathematics. The school consistently outperforms the state by wide margins across every grade level and course—7th grade math proficiency hits 68.1% (26.1 points above the state), 8th grade math reaches 66.0% (+19.7), and Algebra I comes in at 64.8% (+16.7). This strength has helped the school climb steadily in state rankings, from the 30th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 45th percentile in 2025-2026, a jump of 74 positions. Biology also showed strong improvement, rising from 22% to 36.6% proficiency year-over-year, though it still trails the state average. The school's graduation rate of 86.1% sits just 1.1 points below the state figure.
The most pressing concerns are social studies and attendance. U.S. History proficiency is a striking 4%—34.5 points below the state average and down sharply from 19.4% the prior year—while 8th grade social studies lags by 14.7 points. Chronic absenteeism affects 25.2% of students, well above the state's 17.7%, which is especially impactful in a school this small. Since Glascock County district consists solely of this one school, its performance directly drives the district's 3-star rating. The contrast between exceptional math results and weak social studies suggests a curricular imbalance worth addressing, but the overall upward trajectory and strong per-student spending of $15,641 offer reasons for optimism.
