Summary:
Calhoun City, Georgia is home to a single high school, Calhoun High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has a diverse student body, with a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by the high percentage (55.18%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Calhoun High School's academic performance is mixed, with strong results in Biology but lower scores in American Literature and Composition, Algebra I, and United States History compared to state averages. The school's impressive 99.6% four-year graduation rate is a notable strength, but its statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 175th out of 410 Georgia high schools in 2020-2021 to 245th out of 442 in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school's SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars out of 5 in 2021-2022 to 2 stars out of 5 in 2022-2023, indicating a need for improvement in certain areas.
Despite the school's challenges, Calhoun High School serves a significant economically disadvantaged population, and the high graduation rate suggests that the school is effectively supporting its students and helping them complete their high school education. However, the uneven academic performance and declining statewide ranking and rating warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure that all students at Calhoun High School have access to a high-quality education.
