Summary:
Zip code 31634, serving the Homerville, Georgia area, is home to a single high school, Clinch County High School, which educates students in grades 9 through 12 within the Clinch County school district.
For parents considering this school, the most striking feature is its exceptional student attendance. With a chronic absenteeism rate of just 6.2%—far below the state average of 17.7%—students here are consistently in class, which likely supports the school’s strong graduation rate of 88.6%, exceeding the state’s 87.2%. Academically, the school shows a clear strength in Biology, where 47.3% of students scored proficient on the 2025-2026 Milestones assessment, essentially matching the state average of 47.2% and representing a remarkable 11.9-point improvement from the prior year. This is particularly notable given that 91% of the student body qualifies for free or reduced lunch. However, challenges remain in other subjects. Algebra I proficiency dropped sharply from 41.1% to 32.2% year-over-year, leaving a 15.9-point gap behind the state, while U.S. History proficiency (29.2%) also trails the state by 9.3 points. The school’s statewide ranking has improved from the 41st to the 47th percentile over two years, indicating relative progress among Georgia high schools.
With a favorable 12.2:1 student-teacher ratio and a substantial per-student investment of $17,253, Clinch County High School provides a supportive environment that appears to help students succeed in Biology and graduate at rates above the state average, even while other subjects like Algebra I need attention. The school’s low absenteeism and positive ranking trajectory suggest a committed student body and effective support systems, making it a solid choice for families in this rural area. Note that English Language Arts (ELA) scores were not included in this data release; those results will be published in December, and no conclusions should be drawn from their absence.
