High Schools in Valdosta City

The Valdosta City school district in Georgia has only one high school, Valdosta High School. This school has seen a decline in its academic performance over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 190 out of 429 Georgia high schools in 2021-2022 to 294 out of 458 in 2023-2024. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars during this time period.

Valdosta High School's performance on the Georgia Milestones assessments is significantly below the state average across all subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 21.3% to 34.7% compared to the state averages of 38.7% to 44.7%. However, the school does maintain a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 95.2% for the 2021-2022 school year. The school has a large student population of 2,381 students, with a high percentage of 94.67% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch for the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

The data suggests that Valdosta High School is facing significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with the school's declining statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating, as well as its low proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones assessments. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may be contributing to these performance issues, and the school's relatively low per-student spending and high student-teacher ratio may indicate that it is not receiving adequate resources to support its students' educational needs.
