Montgomery County High School

Summary:

Montgomery County High School is a public high school located in Mount Vernon, Georgia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 276 students. The school is part of the Montgomery County School District, which is ranked 95 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Montgomery County High School has shown strong graduation rates, with a 97.1% four-year graduation rate in 2021-2022 and a 100% rate in 2020-2021, significantly higher than the state average and the nearby schools like Treutlen Middle/High School, Toombs County High School, Wheeler County High School, and Vidalia Comprehensive High School. However, the school's test scores on the Milestones Assessments are mixed compared to the state and nearby schools, performing better in some subjects like United States History but lagging behind in others like Algebra I and American Literature and Composition.

Despite the school's strong graduation rates, Montgomery County High School has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, suggesting that the school's overall performance, as measured by the state's accountability system, is average compared to other high schools in Georgia. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, around 95% in recent years, is significantly higher than the nearby schools, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may present unique challenges. The school's high spending per student, from $9,066 in 2016-2017 to $11,001 in 2018-2019, could indicate a need to evaluate the effectiveness of resource allocation and identify ways to maximize the impact of those investments.

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.
