Summary

LaGrange High School in LaGrange, GA, serves approximately 1,399 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Troup County School District, and is the largest of the district's three traditional high schools.

The most encouraging news for parents is the school's remarkable progress in keeping students on track to graduate. LaGrange High School posted a 94.1% graduation rate for the 2024-2025 school year—a dramatic jump from 82.4% the previous year—and now outperforms both the district (93.5%) and state (87.2%) averages. The dropout rate also fell to just 0.7%, well below the state average of 2.4%. Chronic absenteeism has dropped steadily from 25.7% in 2021-2022 to 13.6% today, meaning students are showing up to class more consistently. These improvements are especially notable given that 87.2% of students now qualify for free or reduced lunch, a significant increase from 44.7% just two years ago. The school also spends $13,177 per student, up 16.5% over three years.

Academically, the picture is more mixed. The school's overall state ranking slipped to 279th out of 455 Georgia high schools (2 stars), down from 226th the prior year. In Algebra I, 31.6% of students are proficient—below the district (45.8%) and state (48.1%)—and Biology proficiency is 37.1%, trailing the state average of 47.2%. However, U.S. History is a relative bright spot: 29.9% proficiency exceeds the district average of 24.4%, continuing a three-year trend of outperforming district peers in this subject. Compared to nearby schools, Heard County High School (16 miles away) is a clear outperformer at the 76th percentile, while Greenville High School (19 miles away) ranks in the 18th percentile. Within Troup County, Troup County High School now ranks highest at 202nd statewide, while Callaway High School sits at 315th. Notably, LaGrange High's graduation rate (94.1%) is nearly identical to Troup County High's (94.2%).

In short, LaGrange High School is navigating a period of significant transition. While standardized test scores have declined alongside a rapid shift in the student population's economic profile, the school's ability to keep students engaged, attending, and graduating at record levels is a meaningful achievement. For parents, this suggests a school that is successfully addressing student persistence even as it faces new academic challenges.
