Summary

Westover High School in Albany, GA, serves approximately 1,234 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Dougherty County school district, where 88.5% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most impressive story at Westover is its graduation rate. At 95.1% for 2024-2025, Westover outperforms the district average (89.6%), the state average (87.2%), and every nearby traditional high school, including Terrell High School (92.3%), Dougherty Comprehensive High School (88.5%), and Monroe High School (88.7%). Remarkably, Westover even edges out Lee County High School (94.7%), a school just 10 miles away in a neighboring district with far lower poverty rates. Westover has maintained graduation rates above 93% for four consecutive years, and its dropout rate of 1.3% is less than half the state average. The school also shows strong academic gains: Algebra I proficiency nearly doubled from 18.8% (2022-2023) to 36.8% (2025-2026), and Westover beats its district rivals in every subject tested—for example, 36.8% proficient in Algebra I versus 20.8% at Dougherty Comprehensive and 12.4% at Monroe.

However, challenges remain. Chronic absenteeism sits at 30.1%, well above the state average of 17.7%, though it is far better than Dougherty Comprehensive (49.3%) and Monroe (42.2%). The school's special education students rank in the 9th percentile statewide, and male students (26th percentile) lag behind female students (30th percentile). Westover also spends less per student ($14,488) than its district peers yet achieves better outcomes, suggesting efficient resource use. While the school's overall state ranking slipped to 317th out of 455 Georgia high schools, its consistent graduation success and improving test scores tell a story of a school effectively moving students to completion despite significant socioeconomic hurdles.
