Hawkinsville High School

Summary:

Hawkinsville High School is a public high school serving 388 students in grades 9-12 in Hawkinsville, Georgia, which is part of the Pulaski County School District. The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 96 out of 429 Georgia high schools in 2021-2022 (4-star rating) to 234 out of 458 in 2023-2024 (2-star rating).

Compared to nearby high-performing schools like Perry High School and Veterans High School, both in the Houston County School District, Hawkinsville High School's graduation rates, test scores, and overall performance are generally lower. However, the school serves a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 72% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the rates at Perry High School (48%) and Veterans High School (30%).

Despite the challenges, Hawkinsville High School's spending per student is higher than some nearby schools, including DAC (Dodge County Achievement Center) and Perry High School. This suggests that the school may be working to address the needs of its student population, but more targeted strategies and support may be needed to improve academic performance and better serve the community.

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.
