Summary

Villa Rica High School in Villa Rica, GA, serves approximately 1,681 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Carroll County School District, located about 35 miles west of Atlanta.

Villa Rica’s standout strength is its graduation rate. At 96.7% for the 2024–2025 school year, the school exceeds the state average (87.2%) by nearly 10 points and has improved steadily from 91.4% just four years ago. This is especially notable given the school’s challenges elsewhere. Chronic absenteeism, while improving dramatically from a pandemic-era high of 40.8% to 21.3%, remains well above the district (15.3%) and state (17.7%) averages. The most pressing academic concern is Algebra I proficiency, where only 25.5% of students scored at grade level—roughly half the state average (48.1%) and the lowest among nearby schools like Paulding County High School (42.1%) and Central High School (40.3%). In contrast, the school outperforms the state in U.S. History (39.3% vs. 38.5%) and matches the district in Biology (41.1%).

Compared to regional peers, Villa Rica presents a mixed picture. It outperforms Temple High School in Biology and U.S. History, but trails Bremen High School, which posts proficiency rates roughly double Villa Rica’s and a chronic absenteeism rate of just 8.3%. Within its own district, Central High School outperforms Villa Rica across nearly every metric. The school’s per-student spending ($10,619) is also lower than most peers, which may limit academic supports. Still, the school has demonstrated meaningful improvement in attendance and graduation, and its Hispanic students perform relatively well (59th percentile statewide). For parents, the picture is nuanced: Villa Rica successfully gets students to graduation, but ensuring deep content mastery—especially in math—remains a clear area for growth.
