Wilkinson County

The schools in Wilkinson County, Georgia, serve students from elementary through high school, but the district as a whole is struggling to provide a high-quality education. The four schools in the county, including two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school, consistently perform well below the state average on key metrics like test scores and statewide rankings.

None of the schools in Wilkinson County can be considered standouts, as they all have 1-star or 0-star ratings from the state. Wilkinson County High School ranked 401 out of 458 Georgia high schools, while Wilkinson County Middle School ranked 465 out of 588 middle schools, and Wilkinson County Elementary School ranked 1160 out of 1248 elementary schools. The schools also have very low proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones Assessments, with the high school's American Literature and Composition proficiency rate at just 12.7%, compared to the state average of 42%.

The data suggests that the schools in Wilkinson County may be facing resource challenges, with relatively low spending per student and high student-teacher ratios. Additionally, the district serves a predominantly low-income population, with all schools having free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 88.98% to 89.32%. Addressing these issues will require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes across the district.
