Cass High School

Summary:

Cass High School is a public high school located in White, Georgia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,551 students. It is part of the Bartow County School District, which is ranked 74 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of Cass High School's key strengths is its consistently high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 88.7% to 92.0% over the past five years, exceeding the state average. However, the school's performance on the Georgia Milestones Assessments is an area of concern, with proficiency rates in subjects like Algebra I, American Literature and Composition, and Biology significantly lower than the Bartow County and state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 13.6% of Cass High School students were proficient in Algebra I, compared to 39.5% in Bartow County and 44% statewide.

Cass High School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 44.05% to 50.61% over the past three years, suggesting a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students compared to nearby schools like Woodstock High School (24.9% free/reduced lunch) and Allatoona High School (18.6% free/reduced lunch). Despite these challenges, the school has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, similar to its peers in the Bartow County district, suggesting that there is potential for improvement by addressing the academic performance gaps.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
