Stewart County High School

Summary:

Stewart County High School is a public high school located in Lumpkin, Georgia, serving 119 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Stewart County School District, which is ranked 169 out of 203 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Stewart County High School has had relatively high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 85.7% to 96.9% over the past five years, its academic performance on the Georgia Milestones Assessments is significantly below the state average across all subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 24.2% of students were proficient or better in American Literature and Composition, compared to the state average of 42%. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 97.12% to 100% over the past three years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to the nearby Chattahoochee County High School and Webster County High School, Stewart County High School performs significantly worse on standardized test scores and has a much higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the school's academic performance, and that additional support and resources may be needed to address the underlying challenges facing the school and its students.

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.
