Summary:

Houston County Schools serve approximately 38 schools—including 25 elementary, 8 middle, and 5 high schools—across the Warner Robins and Perry areas of central Georgia, a district that ranks in the 68th percentile statewide with a 3-star rating.

For parents, the standout options are clear. Bonaire Elementary School leads the district’s elementary schools, ranking in the 92nd percentile with 5-star status and math proficiency rates above 70% in every grade tested. Matthew Arthur Elementary School is another top choice, ranking in the 90th percentile with notably low chronic absenteeism (7.2%) and the district’s lowest economic need percentage (36.4% free/reduced lunch). At the middle school level, Bonaire Middle School is the clear leader—95th percentile statewide—with 8th-grade math proficiency at 78.3% and Algebra I proficiency at 94.3%. Among high schools, Houston County High School posts the highest graduation rate (96.8%) and extraordinary Biology proficiency (90.3%), while Veterans High School remains strong but has slipped from the 89th to 77th percentile over three years. Perry High School offers the most consistency, holding between the 70th and 75th percentile for three straight years while serving a higher-need population.

Families should be aware of stark contrasts. Schools with 100% free/reduced lunch populations—including Westside Elementary School, Miller Elementary School, and Northside High School—rank in the bottom quartile, with math proficiency often below 20%. Chronic absenteeism is a key differentiator: Warner Robins High School struggles with a 31.4% rate, while top elementary schools stay under 8%. Notably, higher per-student spending does not translate to better outcomes—the lowest-spending schools are often the highest performers. A district-wide strength is science, with Biology proficiency (76.8%) far exceeding the state average (47.2%), and all middle schools post Algebra I proficiency above 87%, reflecting strong advanced math placement. English Language Arts scores are not yet available for this release and will be released in December.
