The school has a strong 95.7% four-year graduation rate and outperforms the state average on several Georgia Milestones assessments, particularly in Algebra I, Biology, and United States History.

Overall, Atkinson County has a single high school that appears to be a reasonably strong performer, with some areas of academic excellence and a commitment to supporting its economically disadvantaged student population. However, the school's inconsistent statewide ranking and relatively high student-teacher ratio suggest areas for potential improvement to ensure a consistently high-quality education for all students.
