Ware County


Summary:

The Ware County school district in Georgia consists of 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district serves communities facing significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch across the schools.

Within the district, a few schools stand out for their strong performance. Waresboro Elementary School and Williams Heights Elementary School rank in the top 50% and 35% of Georgia elementary schools, respectively, with particularly high proficiency rates in math, science, and English Language Arts. In contrast, several other elementary and middle schools in the district struggle, ranking in the bottom half of their state rankings, indicating room for improvement.

The lone high school in the district, Ware County High School, maintains a solid performance record, ranking in the top 35% of Georgia high schools and boasting a graduation rate above the state average. However, the district as a whole faces challenges in terms of student support and resources, given the high levels of economic disadvantage among the student populations.
