Collins Hill High School

Q: Is Collins Hill High School a good school?

Collins Hill High School ranks 152 nd of 458 Georgia high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Collins Hill High School is a public high school located in Suwanee, Georgia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,695 students. It is part of the Gwinnett County School District, which is ranked 65 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Collins Hill High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 72nd in 2016-2017 to 152nd in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 4 stars to 3 stars during this period, the school's performance is generally lower than the top-performing nearby schools like North Gwinnett High School (95.4% graduation rate) and Lanier High School (91.9% graduation rate). Collins Hill's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 82.2% and 86.1% over the past five years, and its proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones Assessments are generally lower than the Gwinnett County and state averages, particularly in Algebra I and United States History.

Interestingly, the Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science, and Technology, a specialized magnet school located just 4.93 miles from Collins Hill, is the top-ranked high school in Georgia and consistently achieves exceptional test scores, with proficiency rates often exceeding 90% on the Georgia Milestones Assessments. This highlights the significant academic gap between Collins Hill and the highest-performing schools in the region. However, Collins Hill still outperforms some of the lower-performing schools in the area, such as International Transition Center and Gwinnett InterVention Education (GIVE) Center East, which have much lower test scores and graduation rates.

It really depends how you apply yourself. If you make the right connections and put in the work academically, opportunities will open up for you. However, the school does next to nothing to help students who need guidance. Collins Hill is great at helping the privileged, and terrible at helping the underprivileged. Close Quote

1 kid that graduated and 1 that is currently enrolled. Both my children are very different (one gifted & one not gifted - both kids involved in different activities at the school). I am a very involved Christian parent with a stable marriage and family life. I work from home. My children communicate and tell me a lot about the school. Stay away from this school and home school or choose another school if you can. Close Quote

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.
