Randolph Clay High School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Georgia high schools, with a ranking between 333 and 415 out of 410 to 458 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on the Milestones Assessments is also significantly below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 0% to 36.5% across various subject areas, compared to the state averages of 38.7% to 44.7%. While the school's four-year graduation rates have shown some improvement, from 78.6% in 2019-2020 to 87.5% in 2021-2022, they still lag behind the state average. Additionally, 100% of Randolph Clay High School's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Randolph Clay High School's performance is similar to that of the other nearby high schools, Quitman County High School and Calhoun County High School, which also rank in the bottom quartile of Georgia high schools and have low proficiency rates on the Milestones Assessments, as well as high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the increased per-student spending at Randolph Clay High School, from $11,364 in 2016-2017 to $16,911 in 2018-2019, the school's academic performance has remained consistently low, suggesting that the school may face systemic challenges that go beyond just funding and resources.

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.
