Summary

Gordon Lee High School in Chickamauga, GA, serves approximately 410 students in grades 9–12 as part of the highly regarded Chickamauga City district, which ranks in the 93rd percentile statewide. The school itself earned a 4-star rating and ranks 59th out of 455 Georgia high schools, placing it in the 87th percentile for the 2025–2026 school year.

One of the most striking strengths is the graduation rate: 98.1% for 2024–2025, well above the state average of 87.2% and higher than every nearby school—including Dalton High School (91.4%), Northwest Whitfield County High School (94.9%), and Ridgeland High School (92.9%). Gordon Lee also excels in U.S. History, with 79.1% of students scoring proficient or above—more than double the state average of 38.5% and far ahead of LaFayette High School (44.7%) and Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe High School (43.3%). Biology proficiency is also strong at 62.8%, beating the state average of 47.2% and most regional peers, though Heritage High School edges ahead at 69.1%.

Attendance is another standout: chronic absenteeism is just 9.2%, roughly half the state average of 17.7% and dramatically lower than Ridgeland High School (42.1%) or LaFayette High School (26.7%). The school has also shown steady improvement in Algebra I, climbing from 32.1% proficiency in 2022–2023 to 55.4% in 2025–2026, now above the state average of 48.1%. With a favorable 14.1:1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $14,028, Gordon Lee offers a stable, well-resourced environment.
