Summary

Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, which is part of the Catoosa County School District. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past decade, currently holding a 3-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Compared to nearby schools like Heritage High School and Ringgold High School, Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe High School tends to underperform in areas such as test scores, graduation rates, and the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. For example, the school's proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones Assessments lag behind the county and state averages in subjects like American Literature, Algebra I, and Biology. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55.43% to 69.03% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools.

However, the school has seen a positive development in its student-teacher ratio, improving from 14.8 in 2021-2022 to 12.1 in 2023-2024, which is better than the ratios at Ringgold High School (11.9) and Dalton High School (16.0). This improvement in the student-teacher ratio could potentially help the school better support its students. Overall, Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe High School faces several challenges, but the district's efforts to address these issues could lead to improved outcomes for the school and its students.

What people are saying

by a parent
Saturday, May 12, 2018

The assistant principal at this school does not care about the students at this school. My child graduated last year and I along with many other parents do not like Mr.Weaver. He has no respect for any of the students and all he cares about is the money. He couldn't care less about the hard lives that some of the children are facing and all he cares about is making the school look better when in reality the children are miserable. Children can't learn when they are starving at home, when a loved one dies, etc. You can't expect so much from these kids. He is just a despicable person. He shouldn't use is authority to belittle the students. The teachers on the other hand are amazing! The councilors are amazing and the staff altogether are amazing. Close Quote
