Summary:
Lamar County, Georgia has only one high school serving the area - Lamar County High School. The school faces significant challenges, with a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger and consistently low performance on state assessments compared to the Georgia average.
Lamar County High School's graduation rate of 84.5% is below the state average, and its proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones Assessments range from just 18.2% in American Literature and Composition to 31.3% in United States History. The school also serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 48.39% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. These factors, combined with relatively low spending per student and a high student-teacher ratio, suggest that the school may struggle to provide a high-quality education to its students.
While Lamar County High School is the only option for high school students in the area, the data indicates that the school is underperforming compared to state-level metrics. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the challenges facing the school and improve educational outcomes for students in the Lamar County community.
