Summary

Northeast High School in Macon, GA, serves approximately 794 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Bibb County school district, where about 64% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The most pressing challenge at Northeast is chronic absenteeism. In the most recent school year, 42.8% of students were chronically absent—far above the district rate of 27.5% and the state rate of 17.7%. This pattern has persisted for five straight years, with rates never dropping below 41%. Attendance is likely a major factor behind the school's academic struggles, which include an Algebra I proficiency rate of just 15.5% and a U.S. History proficiency rate of only 7.6%—both roughly one-third to one-fifth of state averages. That said, there is a bright spot: Biology proficiency has more than doubled in three years, rising from 7.9% to 17%, making it the school's strongest subject. The graduation rate also rebounded to 84.0% after a sharp dip the prior year, though it remains below the district (89.0%) and state (87.2%) averages.

Northeast spends more per student ($15,152) than every nearby high school, including Jones County High School ($12,099) and other Bibb County schools (ranging from $13,124 to $14,706). Yet outcomes remain among the lowest in the region. Compared to district peers, Northeast outperforms Southwest High School on most measures but trails Howard High School, Rutland High School, and Central High School. For example, Rutland achieves 33.3% proficiency in U.S. History versus Northeast's 7.6%, showing that improvement is possible within the same district. The school's special education students also rank in the 8th percentile statewide, suggesting that additional resources have not yet translated into better outcomes for this group. Addressing chronic absenteeism appears to be the single most important step the school can take to improve academic performance across the board.
