High Schools in Gainesville City

Gainesville City, Georgia is home to a single high school, Gainesville High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has been consistently below the state average, as evidenced by its fluctuating statewide ranking between 279 and 320 out of 458 Georgia high schools over the past 3 school years, and its 2 out of 5 star SchoolDigger rating, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state.

Gainesville High School's proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones assessments are consistently lower than the state averages across all subject areas, with the school's 2023-2024 American Literature proficiency rate of 27.1% falling well below the state average of 42%. Additionally, the school's 4-year graduation rate for the 2021-2022 school year was 84.9%, slightly below the state average. These academic performance indicators suggest that the school may face challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.

Demographic and socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's underperformance, as Gainesville City has a relatively high percentage of students (56.8%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was also lower than the state average, at $9,029 per student. These factors highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying challenges facing Gainesville High School and ensure equitable access to quality education for all students in the district.
