High Schools in McIntosh County

McIntosh County, Georgia has only one high school, McIntosh Academy, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranking between 258th and 306th out of 429-458 Georgia high schools, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While McIntosh Academy boasts a strong 98.5% four-year graduation rate, its Milestones Assessment scores are generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 12.5% to 33.7% across different subject areas and years. This suggests that students at the school may be struggling to meet academic standards set by the state. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 79.24% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which could be a contributing factor to the academic challenges.
