Summary

Calhoun High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Calhoun, Georgia, with a total enrollment of 1,301 students. The school is part of the Calhoun City school district and has consistently ranked in the middle to upper-middle range of Georgia high schools over the past 10 years, with a current statewide ranking of 193 out of 452 schools and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Calhoun High School stands out for its strong 4-year graduation rates, which have ranged from 84.4% to 100% over the past few years, on par with or exceeding the state average. The school's test scores on the Georgia Milestones assessments are generally in line with or slightly below the state and district averages, but it excels in Biology, where its proficiency rates have been consistently higher than the state average. However, Calhoun High School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55.18% to 65.03% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby high schools, Calhoun High School generally performs on par or slightly better than schools in the Whitfield County and Bartow County districts, but lags behind the higher-performing schools in the Floyd County district, such as Armuchee High School and Model High. This proximity to higher-performing schools may present opportunities for Calhoun High School to collaborate, share resources, and learn from best practices to drive further improvement.
