Summary

Cass High School in White, Georgia, serves approximately 1,570 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Bartow County School District, and has earned a 3-star rating while ranking 149th out of 455 high schools statewide.

Cass High School has several notable strengths that stand out for parents. The graduation rate of 93.1% for 2024-2025 exceeds the state average of 87.2% by nearly 6 percentage points, and the school has maintained a rate above 91% for five consecutive years. The dropout rate is impressively low at just 0.8%, compared to the state rate of 2.4%. The school also shows strong results for its Hispanic students, ranking in the 71st percentile statewide with a 4-star rating—a particularly bright spot. In U.S. History, Cass consistently outperforms both district and state averages, with 47.6% of students scoring proficient compared to 38.5% statewide. Perhaps most striking is the dramatic turnaround in Algebra I: proficiency jumped from just 13.2% in 2022-2023 to 41.4% in 2025-2026—a threefold improvement in two years that suggests targeted interventions are working. Biology also showed strong gains, reaching 48.9% proficiency, essentially matching the district and slightly exceeding the state.

However, there are areas of concern. Chronic absenteeism, while improved from 36.9% to 25.7% in one year, remains significantly higher than the district rate of 15.8% and the state rate of 17.7%. This is the highest among comparable nearby schools—Woodland High School sits at 22.3%, Adairsville High School at 17.6%, and higher-performing schools like Allatoona High School (12.5%) and Woodstock High School (14.8%) have rates less than half of Cass's. While Cass trails Adairsville (73rd percentile) and Woodland (69th percentile) in overall ranking, its 73-position jump in a single year—from 222nd to 149th—shows a clear upward trajectory. The school's spending of $13,644 per student is comparable to peers, suggesting the key to continued improvement may lie in addressing attendance rather than resources.
