Warren County High School

Summary:

Warren County High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Warrenton, Georgia, with a total enrollment of 159 students. The school is part of the Warren County School District, which is ranked 185 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Warren County High School faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the state average. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 11.4% in Biology to 51.2% in United States History, significantly lower than the state averages of 44.7% and 38.7%, respectively. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated, ranging from 81.4% in 2021-2022 to 90.7% in 2019-2020, which is still lower than the state average. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with 100% of students qualifying in the 2022-2023 and 2020-2021 school years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Glascock County Middle/High School, Warren County High School generally underperforms, with lower proficiency rates in several subject areas and a lower four-year graduation rate of 87.5% in 2021-2022. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from 224 out of 438 Georgia high schools in 2018-2019 to 285 out of 458 in 2023-2024, suggesting that it is not keeping pace with the performance of other high schools in the state. While the school has relatively high spending per student and a lower student-teacher ratio, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, indicating a need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational strategies and resource allocation.

Open Quote 10:1 student teacher ratio, a student body of 200 students, and test scores are abysmal. What is wrong with this place? Maybe a change is needed at the top. Too bad so much emphasis is placed on athletics and not academics; in the long run, which will serve our students more? Close Quote

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.
