Hall County

Summary:

The Hall County school district in Georgia consists of 37 schools, including 20 elementary schools, 8 middle schools, and 9 high schools. The data reveals significant disparities in performance and resources across the schools in the district, with some standout institutions like Cherokee Bluff High School and North Hall Middle School consistently ranking among the top schools in the state.

While Cherokee Bluff High School boasts a 97.9% four-year graduation rate and strong test scores, other high schools in the district, such as Lanier College and Career Academy, struggle with much lower graduation rates and proficiency levels. Similarly, North Hall Middle School stands out as a top performer, while schools like East Hall Middle and West Hall Middle rank in the bottom 25% of Georgia middle schools.

Schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates, such as Chicopee Elementary, tend to have the lowest test scores and graduation rates. Conversely, schools like Spout Springs Elementary, with a low free/reduced lunch rate of 15.18%, are among the top-performing elementary schools in the district.
