Summary:

Newnan High School is a public high school serving 2,335 students in grades 9-12 in Newnan, Georgia, which is part of the Coweta County School District. While the school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking and rating, it generally performs below nearby schools like Northgate High School and East Coweta High School on key metrics like graduation rates and standardized test scores.

Newnan High School's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 86.6% to 92.4% over the past five years, which is lower than the graduation rates of Northgate High School (90.5%) and East Coweta High School (91.7%). Additionally, the school's proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones assessments tend to lag behind the Coweta County and state averages, particularly in subjects like American Literature, Algebra I, and Biology.

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.
