State Specialty Schools I- Foothills Regional High School


Summary:

The State Specialty Schools I- Foothills Regional High School district contains only one school, Foothills Regional High School, a public high school serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,519 students. While the school has been ranked in the top half of Georgia high schools in recent years, its ranking has steadily declined, going from 137th out of 429 high schools in 2021-2022 to 168th out of 442 high schools in 2022-2023, and now 225th out of 458 high schools for the 2023-2024 school year.

Foothills Regional High School's academic performance is a concern, with significantly lower-than-average graduation rates and proficiency rates on standardized tests across multiple subject areas. The school's four-year graduation rate for the 2021-2022 school year was just 7.0%, which is well below the state average. Additionally, the school's performance on the Milestones Assessments is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 13.5% in Algebra I to 44.7% in United States History.

The school also faces challenges related to its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 73.12% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This, combined with the school's high student-teacher ratio of 85.1 to 1, may be contributing to the academic struggles. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions and a comprehensive review of the school's practices and resources could be crucial in improving the overall performance and outcomes for the students at Foothills Regional High School.
