Summary

Rutland High School in Macon, GA, is a public high school serving 921 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Bibb County School District. While the school's overall state ranking has hovered in the lower percentiles over the past decade, it stands out for its strong graduation and dropout rates, which are areas where it outperforms both its district and the state.

Rutland's most notable strength is its student success in completing high school. For the 2024-2025 school year, the school reported a graduation rate of 90.4%, higher than the district (89.0%) and state (87.2%) averages. Its dropout rate of 1.5% is also significantly lower than the district (2.7%) and state (2.4%). This indicates the school is effective at keeping students engaged and on track to graduate. Additionally, Rutland shows particular strength in specific End of Course (EOC) tests. In the most recent 2025-2026 school year, proficiency in Biology (24.9%) and U.S. History (33.3%) exceeded district averages, with the U.S. History score nearly double the district average and approaching the state average. The school also earns a 2-star rating for its Special Education students, who rank in the 37th percentile statewide—the highest of any subgroup at the school.

However, a major concern is chronic absenteeism, with 37.4% of students chronically absent—more than double the state rate of 17.7%. This likely contributes to lower proficiency in subjects like Algebra I, where only 13.3% of students were proficient. When compared to nearby schools, Rutland performs in the middle of the pack within Bibb County, outperforming Southwest High School, Westside High School, and Northeast High School, but lagging behind Howard High School and Central High School. The contrast with Houston County schools is stark—Warner Robins High School achieves nearly triple the Biology proficiency despite similar socioeconomic demographics, suggesting challenges beyond funding or resources.
