Summary

Ringgold High School serves approximately 1,052 students in grades 9-12 in Ringgold, GA, part of the Catoosa County district, and currently holds a 3-star rating, ranking 145th out of 455 high schools statewide.

Ringgold’s standout strength is Biology, where 56.4% of students scored proficient in 2025-2026—well above the state average of 47.2% and a pattern that has held for several years. In fact, the school has outperformed the state in Biology by 9 to 19 percentage points every year on record, making it a regional leader in science. Nearby Heritage High School (just under 5 miles away) does score higher in Biology (69.1%) and Algebra I (54.9% vs. Ringgold’s 42.6%), but Heritage also serves a more affluent student body (31.8% vs. 46% free/reduced lunch). Ringgold’s graduation rate is strong at 92.5%, exceeding both the district (91.4%) and state (87.2%) averages, and its dropout rate of 1.0% is well below the state’s 2.4%. The school also maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.8:1.

The main areas for growth are Algebra I, where proficiency (42.6%) trails the district (54.9%) by about 12 points, and chronic absenteeism, which sits at 24.9%—significantly higher than the district (16.4%) and state (17.7%) averages. Despite this attendance challenge, the school still manages to keep students on track to graduate, suggesting effective support systems. Compared to schools with similar poverty levels, like Coahulla Creek High School (79.3% free/reduced lunch), Ringgold performs favorably in most subjects. Spending per student is $13,185, slightly above Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe High School ($14,429) but below several nearby schools, indicating reasonable resource efficiency. If Ringgold can close the Algebra I gap and reduce absenteeism, its ranking could return to the top-100 status it achieved in 2022-2023.
