Best High Schools in Duluth, GA

Summary:

The city of Duluth, Georgia is home to three high schools: Duluth High School, Northview High School, and McClure Health Science High School. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and are part of the Gwinnett County and Fulton County school districts.

Among the three high schools, Northview High School stands out as a top performer, consistently ranking among the top 20 high schools in the state of Georgia and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Northview's students demonstrate significantly higher proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones assessments, particularly in subjects like American Literature, Algebra I, and Biology, compared to the state and county averages. In contrast, Duluth High School and McClure Health Science High School have lower rankings and proficiency rates, with Duluth High School ranking in the 140s-250s out of over 400 Georgia high schools and McClure Health Science High School ranking in the 170s.

The data also reveals notable differences in the schools' socioeconomic profiles. Northview High School has a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 15.51%, while Duluth High School and McClure Health Science High School have much higher rates of 65.94% and 88.39%, respectively. This suggests significant socioeconomic disparities within the Duluth community, which may contribute to the performance gaps observed among the schools. Further investigation into the underlying factors and targeted interventions could help address these equity concerns and improve educational outcomes across the Duluth high schools.
