Summary:
The city of Millen, Georgia is home to three public schools serving grades K-12: Jenkins County Elementary School, Jenkins County High School, and Jenkins County Middle School. Unfortunately, the data indicates that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state averages across a range of academic metrics.
None of the three schools in Millen appear to be standout performers. All three have consistently ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in Georgia, with 2-3 star ratings from SchoolDigger. Proficiency rates on standardized tests are significantly lower than state averages, and the 4-year graduation rate at Jenkins County High School is below the state average. Additionally, these schools serve a student population with extremely high rates of economic disadvantage, with 93-94% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
The data also suggests potential funding disparities, with Jenkins County Elementary School and Jenkins County Middle School receiving less per-student funding than Jenkins County High School. This could be a contributing factor to the overall academic challenges faced by the schools in the Jenkins County district. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address the underlying issues and improve educational outcomes for students in Millen, Georgia.
