Schools in Long County

Rural and spread across the coastal plain of southeast Georgia, Long County runs a single district serving the small city of Ludowici and the surrounding farmland. With just four ranked public schools, the options here are straightforward — every student largely follows the same path through the system. Long County High School leads the county at the 70th percentile statewide, a meaningful result for a district of this size and profile. Smiley Elementary follows at the 46th percentile. Families considering this county should weigh the simplicity of a small, unified system against the limited range of specialized programs that larger districts can offer.
