Putnam County High School has 236 students and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school's 4-year graduation rate is 89.0%, slightly above the state average, and its dropout rate is 2.4%, lower than the state average. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by test scores, is generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with the exception of 9th grade PreACT Secure English Language Arts. The school has a relatively high percentage of students (38.98%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.
Putnam County High School's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating significantly over the past few years. The school's high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio suggest that the district is allocating significant resources to the school, but this does not seem to be translating into consistently strong academic outcomes. The school's socioeconomic challenges may be a contributing factor to its academic performance, and targeted interventions and support may be needed to address these issues.
