Dutchtown High

Q: Is Dutchtown High a good school?

Dutchtown High ranks 185 th of 458 Georgia high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Dutchtown High is a public high school located in Hampton, Georgia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,861 students. It is part of the Henry County School District, which is ranked 152 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dutchtown High has consistently maintained a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 89.4% to 91.7% over the past five years, significantly higher than nearby schools like EXCEL Academy (28.5%), Stockbridge High School (77.4%), and McDonough High School (83.6%). The school also outperforms the Henry County and Georgia state averages in several Milestones Assessment subjects, including Algebra I, Biology, and United States History. However, Dutchtown High's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, suggesting inconsistent performance, and it is surrounded by some high-performing schools in the Clayton County district, such as Martha Ellen Stilwell School for the Performing Arts and Elite Scholars Academy School.

Dutchtown High has a relatively lower percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients (42.56%) compared to some of the nearby schools, and its spending per student has remained relatively stable, ranging from $7,917 to $8,657 over the past three years. The school's student-teacher ratio has also remained around 19:1 over the past three years, similar to the nearby schools. While Dutchtown High is performing well compared to the Henry County district and state averages, there may be room for improvement, and further analysis of the school's practices, resources, and strategies could help identify opportunities to enhance its overall performance and competitiveness.

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.
