Summary:

Lee County High School is the sole high school in Lee County, Georgia, serving grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 1,356 students in the Leesburg area. The school operates within a district that has earned a 5-star rating and ranks in the top 10% of Georgia districts, though the high school itself has seen its state ranking slip from the 94th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 84th percentile in 2025-2026.

Lee County High School posts strong completion metrics, with a 94.7% graduation rate and a 1.8% dropout rate—both better than state averages. However, academic proficiency varies sharply by subject. The school excels in humanities: U.S. History proficiency stands at 64.6% (26 points above the state average) and American Literature at 53.7% (13 points above the state). STEM subjects tell a different story. Algebra I proficiency is just 25.8% in 2025-2026, far below the district's 74.3% and the state's 48.1%, while Biology proficiency dropped dramatically from 44.4% to 16.0% year-over-year, landing well below both district and state averages. These swings are unusually large and suggest possible changes in cohorts, curriculum, or testing participation that warrant close monitoring.

Chronic absenteeism affects 15.5% of students, which is below the state rate of 17.7% but above the district's 11.7%, indicating attendance may be a concentrated issue at the high school level. With about half of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school serves a diverse socioeconomic population while maintaining strong graduation outcomes. The gap between high completion rates and low STEM proficiency suggests many students finish high school without mastering key math and science skills, which could impact postsecondary readiness. For parents, the takeaway is that Lee County High School offers a solid humanities education and strong student persistence, but families should pay close attention to math and science support, as those areas currently lag significantly behind district and state benchmarks.
