Best Public Schools in Georgetown, GA


Summary:

The city of Georgetown, Georgia has two public schools serving students from elementary through high school: Quitman County Elementary and Quitman County High School. Both schools are underperforming compared to state averages, with consistently low rankings, ratings, and test scores over the past several years.

Quitman County Elementary is ranked 1222 out of 1248 Georgia elementary schools and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Similarly, Quitman County High School is ranked 431 out of 458 Georgia high schools and also has a 0-star rating. Students at both schools perform significantly below the state average on the Georgia Milestones Assessments, with only 10% of 3rd graders at the elementary school proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 38.4%. At the high school, just 5.3% of students were proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to the state average of 44%.

Both schools serve a high-poverty student population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the relatively high spending per student at Quitman County Elementary ($17,995) and Quitman County High School ($14,015), the data suggests that additional funding and resources have not translated into improved academic outcomes. The consistently low performance of these schools, which serve a high-poverty student population, raises concerns about educational equity and the ability of the Quitman County district to provide a high-quality education to all students.
