Summary

Starrs Mill High School in Fayetteville, GA, is a top-performing public high school serving 1,357 students in grades 9–12 within the highly rated Fayette County district.

Starrs Mill is a standout for its consistent, decade-long excellence—it has never ranked below the 95th percentile among Georgia high schools and currently sits 16th in the state with a 5-star rating. What truly sets it apart is its success across every student group. The school earned 5-star ratings in all seven reported subgroups, including a remarkable 7th-place statewide ranking for special education students (98th percentile). Its graduation rate is exceptional at 98.5%, well above the state average of 87.2%. In specific subjects, Starrs Mill shines in Biology (83.2% proficient vs. 47.2% statewide) and U.S. History (82.6% vs. 38.5% statewide), outperforming nearby McIntosh High School and Whitewater High School in both areas. The school also reduced chronic absenteeism dramatically—from 19.0% to 11.0% in three years—a rate far lower than many regional peers like Northgate High School (27.7%) or East Coweta High School (34.2%).

One area to watch is Algebra I, where proficiency (70.7%) trails the district average, though it has recovered from a dip the prior year. Still, Starrs Mill achieves these results while spending less per student ($13,648) than several lower-ranked schools, such as Sandy Creek High School ($14,852) and Fayette County High School ($14,095). For parents, this points to a school with strong instructional practices, efficient resource use, and a culture that supports high achievement for all learners—not just a select few.
