High Schools in Gordon County

The Gordon County school district in Georgia is home to two high schools: Sonoraville High School and Gordon Central High School. Based on the available data, Sonoraville High School appears to be the standout performer, consistently ranking higher among Georgia high schools and outperforming its counterpart in several key metrics.

Sonoraville High School boasts a 96.3% 4-year graduation rate, compared to Gordon Central High School's 95.7%. Additionally, Sonoraville High School outperforms the Gordon County and Georgia averages in several Milestones Assessment test scores, including American Literature and Composition, Algebra I, and United States History. This suggests that Sonoraville High School may be providing a higher-quality education to its students.

While Gordon Central High School spends slightly more per student at $10,053, compared to Sonoraville High School's $9,633, the data indicates that the higher spending has not translated into better performance. This raises questions about the effective allocation of resources and the factors that contribute to student success beyond just funding. The significant difference in free/reduced lunch rates between the two schools, with Gordon Central High School serving a more economically disadvantaged student population, could be a contributing factor to its lower performance compared to Sonoraville High School.
