McClure Health Science High School

Q: Is McClure Health Science High School a good school?

McClure Health Science High School ranks 168 th of 458 Georgia high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

McClure Health Science High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Duluth, Georgia, part of the Gwinnett County School District, the largest school district in Georgia and the 13th largest in the United States. With a student population of 1,146, McClure Health Science High School is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

One of the school's key strengths is its consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 93.9% to 97.8% over the past three school years, significantly higher than the state average. While the school's test scores are generally lower than the Gwinnett County and Georgia state averages, it has shown some strengths in specific subject areas, such as higher proficiency rates in Biology (46.8%) and Algebra I (46.6%) compared to the state averages. McClure Health Science High School also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 16.4 to 17.7 over the past three school years, which may suggest more individualized attention for students.

Compared to nearby high-performing schools like Peachtree Ridge High School, Parkview High School, and Paul Duke STEM High School, McClure Health Science High School's overall performance is lower, but it is still able to maintain strong graduation rates and competitive test scores in certain subject areas. This suggests the school may be effectively supporting its students, despite the challenges of serving a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 86.74% to 88.2% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past three school years.

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.
