Summary

Tucker High School is a public high school located in Tucker, Georgia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,590 students. It is part of the DeKalb County School District, which is ranked 131 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past few years, Tucker High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 201 out of 420 Georgia high schools in 2016-2017 to 181 out of 452 in 2024-2025. Its SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars during this period. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated, ranging from 75.8% to 85.4%, which is slightly lower than the 85.4% rate reported for nearby schools like Chamblee High School, Lakeside High School, and Clarkston High School. Additionally, Tucker High School's proficiency rates on the Milestones Assessments are generally lower than the state and DeKalb County averages across various subject areas and grade levels.

One notable factor is that Tucker High School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.49% to 67.67% over the past few years. This is significantly higher than the rates at some nearby schools, such as Chamblee High School (43.74%) and Lakeside High School (48.95%). While the school's spending per student has increased over the years, it is still lower than some nearby high-performing schools like Tapestry Public Charter School and Elizabeth Andrews High School.
