Summary

Chattahoochee County High School in Cusseta, GA, serves approximately 464 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Chattahoochee County district, holding a mid-tier 2-star rating and ranking 271st out of 455 Georgia high schools.

The most remarkable strength at this school is attendance. Only 3.0% of students are chronically absent, compared to the state average of 17.7%—and dramatically better than nearby schools like Spencer High School (50.1%) or Carver High School (37.9%). Even the region's top performer, Columbus High School, has a higher chronic absenteeism rate at 6.4%. This attendance success has been a stunning turnaround—just three years ago, the rate was 25.8%. Academically, the school shines in Algebra I, with 50% of students scoring proficient, slightly above the state average and far ahead of peers like Jordan Vocational High School (24.7%) and Kendrick High School (7.4%). The graduation rate of 88.8% also exceeds the state average of 87.2%.

However, the school shows a clear split in performance. While Algebra I exceeds state norms, Biology (31.9% proficient) and U.S. History (25.6%) lag significantly behind state averages of 47.2% and 38.5%, respectively. The school's ranking has slipped from 195th in 2023-2024 to its current 271st, though Algebra I scores actually improved during that period. Spending is $13,947 per student, slightly above the state average, and the student-teacher ratio of 15.1 is higher than most nearby schools. The percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch jumped from 37% to nearly 59% over two years, yet the school has maintained stable performance—a sign of effective support systems. Overall, Chattahoochee County High School offers strong attendance, solid math instruction, and a good graduation rate, with room for growth in science and history.

Chattahoochee county high school may have small class sizes but the students are not being provided with an education that prepares students for college or vocational schools. The school lacks various technology, up to date textbooks, and other programs that student need to be acclimated with to be competitive with other students in the state. The educational requirements at this school are very minimum and does not compete with other curriculum's in metropolitan areas. Students that have graduated from this school with college level grade point averages (3.0 or above), have chosen not to attend college or fail during the first year of college due to the minimum education their high school provided for them. These students have explained that although they had an A or B grade point average, the education they received at Chattahoochee High was not sufficient enough to prepare them for higher learning. Parents have complained , meetings have been held , and still no solution to this problem. The school system, students, and school staff know the problems that need to be solved in order for the students to receive a better education. However, nobody wants to fix the problem ,just pretend like they do! Close Quote

Chattco is a smaller high school about 5 miles from Ft Benning. What it lacks in programs due to it's size, it makes up for in the teacher-student ratio and the quality of the staff. Close Quote
