Summary

Kendrick High School is a public high school in Columbus, Georgia, serving 903 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Muscogee County School District, which is ranked 155 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Kendrick High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia high schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 376 and 415 out of around 400-450 high schools.

Kendrick High School faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low test scores, graduation rates, and overall school rankings compared to other high schools in the Muscogee County district and the state of Georgia. For example, in 2024-2025, only 13.7% of Kendrick students were proficient or better in American Literature, compared to 36.4% in Muscogee County and 40.4% statewide. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 84.4% to 94.1% over the past few years, which is on par with the Muscogee County average of 85.4% but still below the state average. Additionally, Kendrick High School has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 94.57% to 96.58% over the past few years, significantly higher than other nearby high schools in the district.

Despite having higher per-student spending than some other schools, Kendrick High School continues to struggle academically. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution, and other factors such as teacher quality, curriculum, and student support services may also play a role. The school's consistently low performance over the past several years indicates that it faces persistent challenges that have not been adequately addressed. Comparison to nearby high schools, such as Northside High School, Shaw High School, and Columbus High School, which have significantly higher test scores, graduation rates, and SchoolDigger rankings, further highlights the need for a more comprehensive approach to improving educational outcomes at Kendrick High School.
