About schools in Wayne County

Across Georgia's public schools, Wayne County holds its own modestly — with one standout exception. Odum Elementary School reaches the 85th percentile statewide, a notably strong result for a small, single-district county anchored by the town of Jesup. The remaining seven schools cluster in the mid-range, with Arthur Williams Middle School and Wayne County High School both landing near the 58th–60th percentile. Families moving to this corner of southeastern Georgia will find a compact system — just eight ranked schools — where elementary performance outpaces secondary results, making grade level an important factor when weighing the local options.
