Summary:
The schools in Screven County, Georgia serve students from elementary through high school, with one school at each level. While Screven County High School stands out as a top-performing school in the district, the elementary and middle schools have struggled, ranking in the bottom half of their respective school types in the state.
Screven County High School has consistently ranked among the top 25% of high schools in Georgia, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's strong performance is evident in its high proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones assessments, particularly in Algebra I, United States History, and Biology. In contrast, Screven County Elementary School and Screven County Middle School have 2-star ratings from SchoolDigger and lower proficiency rates on the Milestones assessments compared to the state averages.
The data also reveals significant socioeconomic challenges facing the district, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across all three schools. Additionally, the differences in per-student spending between the schools could indicate funding disparities that may be contributing to the performance gaps. The relatively weaker performance of Screven County Middle School could also be a contributing factor to the high school's challenges, as students may not be adequately prepared for the rigor of high school coursework.
