  • Financial Efficiency Star Ratings

    In January, the Georgia Department of Education released the Financial Efficiency Star Ratings for local school districts in Georgia.  The Financial Efficiency Star Rating provides a measure of a district’s per-pupil spending in relation to the academic achievements of its students.


    Effingham County demonstrated its ability to efficiently use financial resources while maintaining high academic achievement with an average score of 81.4 across three years on the College and Career Ready Performance Index. Effingham County was one of only 29 districts of 180 in the state earning at least 4 out of 5 stars.


    Effingham County is in the 28th percentile in the State for per-pupil spending. The 3-year average spending per student in Effingham County is $8,509.14 compared to the state average of $9,085.97. The school district would spend an additional $6.6 million overall if we followed the state per-pupil average.
