Summary

Rutland High School is a public high school located in Macon, Georgia, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 897. The school is part of the Bibb County School District, which is ranked 175 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Rutland High School has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Georgia high schools, ranking between 303-352 out of 429-458 schools over the past 10 years, and maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rutland High School consistently underperforms compared to the Bibb County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 22.4% of Rutland students were proficient or better in American Literature and Composition, compared to 19.7% in Bibb County and 40.4% statewide. Similarly, only 5.9% of Rutland students were proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to 18.3% in Bibb County and 44.9% statewide. Rutland High School's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 84.4% to 93.4% over the past few years, which is slightly below the state average of around 85-87%. Additionally, Rutland High School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 34.67% to 100% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Rutland High School to the nearby schools in the Bibb County district, it becomes clear that Rutland is one of the lower-performing schools. For example, Central High School and Howard High School both outperform Rutland on test scores and have higher graduation rates, despite being in the same district. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Rutland High School suggests that the school may be serving a population with significant economic challenges, which could be contributing to the lower academic performance. Additionally, the relatively low per-student spending at the school may be a factor in the underperformance.
