Warner Robins High School

Q: Is Warner Robins High School a good school?

Warner Robins High School ranks 238 th of 458 Georgia high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Warner Robins High School is a public high school in Warner Robins, Georgia, serving 1,816 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Houston County School District. While the district is ranked 53 out of 203 in Georgia and has a 4-star rating, Warner Robins High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia high schools, maintaining a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past decade.

The school's four-year graduation rate has improved slightly from 85.1% in 2018-2019 to 87.7% in 2021-2022, but it still lags behind the state average and the rates of nearby high-performing schools like Veterans High School (94.2%) and Houston County High School (95.4%). Additionally, Warner Robins High School consistently underperforms the Houston County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones End-of-Course assessments across all subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 7.9% to 52.5%.

One potential factor contributing to the school's underperformance is its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 80.89% to 83.87% over the past three years. This is significantly higher than the rates at nearby high-performing schools like Veterans High School (30.09%) and Houston County High School (36.03%), suggesting a lower socioeconomic status of the student population. Addressing these socioeconomic disparities and implementing targeted interventions could be crucial in improving the school's overall academic outcomes.

If it's not football, it's not important. Concern for academics is skin deep, and ONLY exists because District is breathing down the Principal's neck. Close Quote

I have witnessed WRHS go up and down over the last few decades. Indeed the the demographics changed a lot after Veterans opened up which shifted a good bit of more affluent students away from WRHS. Nonetheless, WRHS has many very competent and passionate teacher. The past few years have been plagued by weak leadership.In April of 2016 we saw the untimely passing of their principal, but we only hope that the succeeding principal can take the strong lead WRHS deserves to usher in a new and brighter chapter.

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.
