Summary

Coosa High School is a public high school located in Rome, Georgia, serving grades 8-12 with a total enrollment of 858 students. It is part of the Floyd County School District, which is ranked 32 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past 10 years, Coosa High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 112 and 306, with a current ranking of 112 out of 452 Georgia high schools for the 2024-2025 school year.

Coosa High School has seen a significant improvement in its four-year graduation rates, increasing from 84.4% in 2022-2023 to 95.4% in 2023-2024, which is notable compared to the state average of 95.3% in 2023-2024. However, the school's performance on the Milestones Assessments is mixed, with the school excelling in Algebra I and Biology but struggling in subjects like American Literature and Composition, United States History, and 8th-grade English Language Arts and Science, where its proficiency rates are significantly lower than the county and state averages. Additionally, Coosa High School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 57.23% to 59.22% over the past few years, which is higher than the nearby Model High (38.08%) and Pepperell High School (54.13%).

When comparing Coosa High School to the nearby schools in the Floyd County district, it becomes evident that Coosa lags behind in several key areas, with Model High School and Armuchee High School consistently outperforming Coosa High School on the Milestones Assessments. However, the school's higher spending per student, ranging from $9,754 in 2016-2017 to $11,674 in 2018-2019, suggests that the school is investing resources to support its students. Despite these challenges, Coosa High School's recent improvements in graduation rates and statewide ranking indicate that the school is taking steps to address its academic performance and support the success of its students.
