Summary

Coosa High School in Rome, Georgia, serves approximately 861 students in grades 8-12 as part of the Floyd County School District, and has earned a 4-star rating by climbing from the 39th percentile statewide in 2018-2019 to the 71st percentile in 2025-2026—a remarkable turnaround from its 1-star rating a decade ago.

What truly sets Coosa apart is its exceptional support for students who often need the most help. The school ranks in the 95th percentile statewide for special education students—a 5-star rating that places it 18th out of 338 schools in Georgia and far ahead of nearby Model High, Pepperell High, and Armuchee High. Coosa also excels with Hispanic students (81st percentile) and has cut chronic absenteeism dramatically—from 27.7% in 2021-2022 to just 9.9% now, far better than the state average of 17.7% and comparable to Rome High School's 25.7% rate. The graduation rate has soared to 96.8%, exceeding the state average by nearly 10 points, and the school posts strong science scores (55.1% proficiency in Biology, 78.6% in 8th-grade Physical Science).

Coosa serves a student body where over 70% qualify for free or reduced lunch—a higher percentage than its Floyd County peers—yet it outperforms Rome High School (40th percentile) and Chattooga High School (22nd percentile) overall. While Algebra I proficiency (57.3%) exceeds the state average but trails district peers, and 8th-grade Social Studies (24%) remains a challenge, the school's spending per student ($14,075) is nearly identical to higher-performing peers—suggesting smart resource allocation. With female students ranking in the 76th percentile versus 65th for males, and continued focus needed on American Literature scores, Coosa's decade-long improvement story demonstrates that high-poverty schools can achieve strong outcomes through effective leadership and targeted support.
