Summary:
The State Specialty Schools I- Coastal Plains High School district in Georgia contains only one high school, Coastal Plains High School, which serves grades 9-12. This school is struggling across multiple performance metrics, including a low four-year graduation rate of just 16.1% and significantly below-average scores on the Georgia Milestones assessments in core subject areas.
Coastal Plains High School has a district rank of 166 out of 203 in Georgia and is rated only 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, dropping from 293 out of 442 high schools in 2022-2023 to 345 out of 458 high schools in 2023-2024. This suggests the school is falling further behind its peers in the state. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (58.39%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
With a student-teacher ratio of 37:1 and per-student spending below the state average, Coastal Plains High School appears to be underfunded and struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. Addressing the school's challenges will likely require increased funding, smaller class sizes, and targeted interventions to support student learning and achievement.
