Summary

Troup County High School in LaGrange, GA, serves approximately 1,272 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Troup County district, and it has been on a clear upward trajectory in recent years.

The most impressive story here is the school’s dramatic improvement in graduation rates. In just one year, the graduation rate jumped from 86.0% to 94.2% — now well above the state average of 87.2% and nearly matching Harris County High School (94.9%), which serves a much wealthier community. This achievement is especially notable because the school now serves a student body where 94.1% qualify for free or reduced lunch, up from 49.3% just two years prior. Despite this significant demographic shift, the school has climbed from the 24th to the 56th percentile in statewide rankings. Biology is a clear strength: 50.1% of students scored proficient or above, beating both the district (40.2%) and state (47.2%) averages, and outperforming nearby Callaway High School (31.9%) and LaGrange High School (37.1%). The school also excels in Algebra I (44.9% proficient vs. 31.6% at LaGrange High).

Chronic absenteeism has fallen from 29.3% to 16.0% — now below the state average — and the school earns 4-star ratings for both Hispanic students and Special Education students, ranking in the 80th and 74th percentiles statewide, respectively. U.S. History remains a challenge at 24.6% proficiency, trailing the state average of 38.5%. However, the school’s spending efficiency ($12,894 per student) is lower than several comparable schools while producing stronger outcomes. With a dropout rate of just 1.5% (state: 2.4%) and a graduation rate that rivals much wealthier districts, Troup County High School is clearly delivering results for its students.
