Summary

Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe High School serves approximately 963 students in grades 9-12 in Fort Oglethorpe, GA, as part of the Catoosa County school district. The school has shown impressive momentum this year, jumping 65 spots in statewide rankings to the 60th percentile (182nd out of 455 Georgia high schools) and earning a 3-star rating—a strong rebound from last year's dip.

Academically, the school shows a fascinating split. US History is a clear strength: 43.3% of students scored proficient, beating both the district and state averages (38.5%). Algebra I is also solid, with 49.7% proficiency—essentially matching the state (48.1%) and showing a remarkable 17.6-point improvement over three years. In fact, the school outperforms nearby Ringgold High School in both Algebra I (49.7% vs. 42.6%) and US History (43.3% vs. 38.8%), despite serving a student body with nearly double the poverty rate. However, Biology remains a concern: only 36.2% of students are proficient, well below the district (55.8%) and state (47.2%) averages—a gap that has persisted for three years. The school also faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism at 28.8%, nearly double the district rate (16.4%), though this has improved from 39.1% a few years ago.

Despite economic headwinds—87.75% of students now qualify for free or reduced lunch, up from 55.43% just two years ago—the school has maintained a stable graduation rate of 87.6%, slightly above the state average. The school spends more per student ($14,429) than either Heritage High School ($12,744) or Ringgold ($13,185) and maintains a favorable 11.8:1 student-teacher ratio. Subgroup data shows the school is notably more effective with male students (68th percentile) than female students (42nd percentile), and Hispanic and Special Education students would benefit from additional support. With gains across nearly all subjects this year, the school appears to be on an upward trajectory that could lead to a 4-star rating soon.

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
