Summary

Carrollton High School serves approximately 1,859 students in grades 9-12 in Carrollton, GA, and is the largest high school in its immediate comparison group within the Carrollton City School District.

Carrollton High School is a solid, mid-to-upper tier high school in Georgia, currently ranked 158th out of 455 high schools statewide (65th percentile, 3 stars). Its biggest strengths are clear: a graduation rate of 92.8% (well above the state's 87.2%) and a dropout rate of just 1.7%. The school also shines in U.S. History, with 49.7% of students scoring proficient—more than 11 points above the state average. Additionally, the school ranks in the 77th percentile for supporting English Language Learners, a notable achievement. However, there are areas of concern. Chronic absenteeism has risen to 20.8%, which is higher than both the district (16.7%) and state (17.7%) averages, and this trend has been moving in the wrong direction for three straight years. While the school's overall ranking has fluctuated over the years—from a high of 95th in 2016-2017 to a low of 205th in 2022-2023—it has generally remained in the upper half of Georgia high schools.

Compared to nearby schools, Carrollton sits in the middle of the pack. Bremen High School (about 11 miles away) is the clear regional leader, with a 5-star district rating and significantly higher test scores (e.g., 61.6% vs. 39.1% in Algebra I). On the other hand, Carrollton outperforms several Carroll County schools like Mt. Zion High School (32nd percentile) and Temple High School (45th percentile). Interestingly, Haralson County High School—despite having a much higher poverty rate—outperforms Carrollton in Algebra I and Biology, though Carrollton beats it in American Literature. With per-pupil spending of $13,447 (higher than most neighbors) and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 16.9, Carrollton has solid resources. The school's mixed performance across subjects and subgroups suggests that while it excels in some areas, there's room for growth, particularly in addressing absenteeism and closing achievement gaps.
