Rutland High School

Summary:

Rutland High School is a public high school in Macon, Georgia, serving 907 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Bibb County School District, which is ranked 173 out of 203 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Rutland High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia high schools, maintaining a 1-star rating as well.

Key challenges facing Rutland High School include low graduation rates, significantly lower test scores compared to state and district averages, and a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a very high-poverty student population. Despite higher per-student spending than the state average, the school's performance metrics still lag behind. Nearby Howard High School, Northeast High School, Central High School, Westside High School, and Southwest High School all face similar challenges, suggesting a systemic issue within the Bibb County School District.

Addressing the challenges at Rutland High School and the broader district will require a comprehensive and sustained approach that goes beyond just increasing funding. Targeted interventions, resource allocation, and a focus on improving teacher quality and student support may be necessary to drive meaningful change and improve academic outcomes for students in the Bibb County School District.

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.
