There is only one high school located in Dade County, Georgia - Dade County High School. This school serves grades 9-12 and has a student population of 622. While the school maintains a strong 91.4% four-year graduation rate, its academic performance on state assessments is mixed compared to the county and state averages.

Dade County High School has been ranked between 241-279 out of 429-458 Georgia high schools over the past 3 school years, earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on state assessments (Milestones) is above the county average in American Literature and Composition but below the state average. In other subjects like Algebra I, Biology, and US History, the school scores well below both the county and state averages. This suggests the school may have room for improvement in certain academic areas.

Additionally, over 40% of students at Dade County High School were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This factor may contribute to the school's academic performance and could be an area of focus for additional support and resources. Overall, while Dade County High School maintains a strong graduation rate, its mixed academic performance and socioeconomic challenges present opportunities for the school and district to enhance student success.
