Crisp County High School is facing significant challenges, including a declining four-year graduation rate (dropping from 90.8% in 2019-2020 to 83.3% in 2021-2022) and consistently low performance on the Georgia Milestones Assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from 8.1% to 29.3% across subject areas, well below the state averages of 35.8% to 47.6%. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 98.99% to 100%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. When compared to nearby schools, such as Turner County High School and Wilcox County High School, Crisp County High School's academic performance is significantly lower.

The challenges faced by Crisp County High School, including its low rankings, declining graduation rates, and significant socioeconomic factors, suggest that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes. The larger enrollment of 1,093 students, compared to the nearby schools' enrollments ranging from 340 to 356 students, may also present additional challenges in terms of resource allocation and personalized attention for students. Addressing the unique needs of the Crisp County High School community will be crucial in driving academic improvement and better preparing students for the future.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
