Summary

Lithia Springs Comprehensive High School in Lithia Springs, GA, serves about 1,460 students in grades 9–12 within the Douglas County school district. Nearly 80% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the school currently ranks in the bottom third of Georgia high schools.

The biggest challenge facing the school is chronic absenteeism. At 48.8%, the rate is more than double the district average (22.1%) and nearly triple the state average (17.7%). This pattern has persisted for five years, and it closely tracks with lower academic outcomes. For example, Algebra I proficiency is 29.2% (compared to 47.3% district and 48.1% state), Biology is 23.3% (state: 47.2%), and U.S. History is 17.5% (state: 38.5%). The graduation rate of 81.9% also trails the district (90.7%) and state (87.2%). Nearby schools with similar poverty levels but lower absenteeism—such as Douglas County High School (36.1% absenteeism) and New Manchester High School (27.2%)—achieve notably better results. Even Langston Hughes High School, which serves a 100% low-income population and has a similar absenteeism rate (48.4%), posts a 94.3% graduation rate, showing that high poverty and absenteeism do not inevitably lead to low graduation outcomes.

There are some bright spots. Algebra I proficiency improved from 12.8% in 2022–2023 to 34.4% in 2023–2024—briefly exceeding the district average—before settling at 29.2%. The dropout rate of 2.9% has improved from 4.1% and is lower than several nearby schools, including Pebblebrook High School (6.1%). Per-student spending ($12,252) is comparable to Alexander High School ($12,078) and Chapel Hill High School ($11,303), yet outcomes lag, suggesting that targeted attendance and student-support interventions—rather than just more funding—could be transformative. English Language Arts scores are not yet available in this release; they will be published in December.
