High Schools in Grady County

There is only one high school located in Grady County, Georgia - Cairo High School. This school serves students in grades 9-12 and has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, now ranking 258 out of 458 Georgia high schools with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cairo High School's academic performance is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones assessments ranging from 28.3% to 43.5% across different subject areas, compared to the state averages of 38.7% to 44.7%. However, the school's four-year graduation rate is relatively high at 88.9% for the 2021-2022 school year. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with a 100% free and reduced-lunch rate, and operates with a slightly higher student-teacher ratio of 15.8 and lower per-student spending of $8,718 compared to the state average.

These factors suggest that Cairo High School may be facing challenges in providing a high-quality education and supporting its students, despite its relatively strong graduation rate. The declining statewide ranking, below-average academic performance, high poverty levels, and potential resource constraints are all areas that warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to help improve the school's outcomes and support its students.
