Chattooga High School faces significant academic challenges, with consistently lower proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the state average and nearby schools. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates were 19% in American Literature, 29.9% in Algebra I, 42.6% in Biology, and 10.7% in US History, compared to the state averages of 42%, 44%, 44.7%, and 38.7%, respectively. Nearby Model High School had significantly higher proficiency rates, ranging from 48.3% to 78.7% in the same subjects. Chattooga High School's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated, ranging from 79.6% to 96.7% in recent years, which is generally higher than the state average but lower than some nearby schools.

Chattooga High School also faces socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.15% to 65.22% in recent years. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as Armuchee High School (37.82%) and Model High School (32.02%). Despite these challenges, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and increased spending per student suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement if the school can effectively address the underlying factors contributing to its academic performance.

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.
