Mitchell County High School

Summary:

Mitchell County High School is a public high school located in Camilla, Georgia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 390 students. The school is part of the Mitchell County School District, which is ranked 171 out of 203 districts in Georgia and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Mitchell County High School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on the Georgia Milestones Assessments, with significantly lower proficiency rates across all subject areas. The school's four-year graduation rates have fluctuated over the years, ranging from a low of 84.9% to a high of 96.4%, and have been both above and below the state average. The school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with 100% of students qualifying for this program in recent years. Despite relatively high spending per student and a low student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance has declined, with its statewide ranking dropping from 138 out of 425 high schools in 2013-2014 to 395 out of 458 high schools in 2023-2024.

Nearby Pelham High School, located about 10 miles from Mitchell County High School, has slightly better academic performance and graduation rates, but still struggles with low proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones Assessments. Both schools serve a high percentage of students from low-income families, as evidenced by their high free and reduced-price lunch rates. The factors contributing to the academic challenges faced by Mitchell County High School may extend beyond just funding and staffing, and further investigation into the school's curriculum, instructional practices, and support services for students may be warranted to identify areas for improvement.

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.
