High Schools in Pelham City


Summary:

Pelham City, Georgia has only one high school, Pelham High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school is struggling academically, with test scores significantly below the state averages across all subject areas. For example, in American Literature and Composition, the school's proficiency rate is nearly half the statewide average (23.8% vs. 42%). This suggests the school is having difficulty preparing students for academic success.

Pelham High School faces additional challenges, including a high poverty level, with 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's district, Pelham City, is ranked 163 out of 203 districts in Georgia and is rated only 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating the district as a whole is underperforming compared to other districts in the state. Pelham High School's statewide ranking has also declined, dropping from 359 out of 442 schools in 2022-2023 to 300 out of 458 schools in 2023-2024.

Despite having a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 12.3 to 1, Pelham High School's academic performance suggests this factor alone is not enough to overcome the challenges the school faces. Addressing the root causes of these challenges, such as the high poverty levels and low academic performance, will be crucial for improving outcomes at Pelham High School and ensuring students receive the education they deserve.
