Summary

Grovetown High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Grovetown, Georgia, with a total enrollment of 2,280 students. The school is part of the Columbia County School District, which is ranked 13th out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Grovetown High School has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 84.4% to 93.4% over the past few years, its academic performance has been declining. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 63rd out of 426 Georgia high schools in 2015-2016 to 176th out of 452 in 2024-2025, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 4 stars to 3 stars during this period. Grovetown High School's test scores on the Milestones Assessments are generally lower than the Columbia County and Georgia averages, particularly in Algebra I and American Literature and Composition. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Grovetown High School has increased from 34.44% in 2022-2023 to 45% in 2023-2024, which may indicate a growing economic need within the school's community.

Compared to nearby schools, Lakeside High School and Greenbrier High School, both part of the Columbia County School District, Grovetown High School's performance on the Milestones Assessments is generally lower. However, Grovetown High School outperforms the schools in the Richmond County School District, such as Butler High School and Glenn Hills High School. The school's spending per student has increased from $6,689 in 2016-2017 to $7,176 in 2018-2019, but it is still lower than the nearby Lakeside High School and Greenbrier High School, which may contribute to the school's lower academic performance.

Grovetown High is the most diverse school on Columbia county. The staff is awesome and they really care for the students. Military friendly and the kids are just better behaved than at the other schools we've observed. Our son is in sports and we stay busy in the community, Grovetown is where it's at! Close Quote
