Summary

Tucker High School in Tucker, GA, serves approximately 1,614 students in grades 9-12 within the DeKalb County School District. The school currently holds a 2-star rating, ranking in the 49th percentile statewide—a drop from last year's 3-star, 60th-percentile performance. This shift coincides with a dramatic increase in economic disadvantage: 85.4% of students now qualify for free or reduced lunch, up from 51.5% just two years ago. Despite these challenges, the school maintains an 81.0% graduation rate, close to the district average, though its 6.2% dropout rate is higher than both district and state averages.

One of the school's standout strengths is U.S. History, where 41.6% of students scored proficient—beating both the district (32.2%) and state (38.5%) averages. Tucker also earns high marks for specific student groups, ranking in the 71st percentile statewide for African American students and the 73rd percentile for English Language Learners, both earning 4-star ratings. Biology has shown notable improvement, jumping from 36.2% proficiency in 2023-2024 to 45.2% in 2024-2025, though it settled at 38.9% this year. Algebra I remains a challenge, with 33.3% proficiency versus the state's 48.1%, though this is a significant improvement from the 15.7% low point two years ago.

Compared to nearby schools, Tucker sits in the middle of the pack. It significantly outperforms Stone Mountain High School (14th percentile) and Meadowcreek High School (11th percentile), but trails Chamblee High School (82nd percentile) and Parkview High School (84th percentile). Chronic absenteeism (28.8%) is a concern, though better than several neighbors. The school spends $18,285 per student and maintains a favorable 14.8:1 student-teacher ratio. While the rapid demographic shift presents real challenges, Tucker's strong subgroup performance and improving Biology scores suggest a foundation for continued growth.
