High Schools in Meriwether County

The two high schools located in Meriwether County, Georgia, Manchester High School and Greenville High School, are both struggling to achieve strong academic performance and outcomes. The data paints a concerning picture, with both schools ranking in the bottom quarter of Georgia high schools and exhibiting low proficiency rates, high rates of economic disadvantage, and declining trends in their statewide rankings.

Neither school stands out as a clear standout performer, as both Manchester High School and Greenville High School have 1-star ratings and rank 407th and 379th, respectively, out of 458 Georgia high schools. Their test scores are significantly below the state average in all subjects, with proficiency rates as low as 12.9% in American Literature. While their graduation rates are not exceptionally low, they still fall short of the state average. Additionally, both schools have extremely high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among their student populations.

Despite the relatively high spending per student at these schools, the data suggests a disconnect between funding and academic outcomes. This raises concerns about the underlying factors contributing to the schools' struggles and the need for a more comprehensive approach to address the educational challenges faced by the students in Meriwether County.
