Summary

Model High in Rome, GA, serves approximately 915 students in grades 8-12 within the Floyd County School District, and it stands out as one of the strongest high schools in northwest Georgia. The school has earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for five straight years and currently ranks in the 81st percentile statewide—a remarkable climb from the 66th percentile a decade ago. Perhaps the most impressive number is the graduation rate: 97.7% for 2024-2025, which beats the state average by more than 10 points and tops nearby Rome High School (95.7%) and Chattooga High School (89.9%).

What really sets Model High apart is how consistently students show up and succeed. Chronic absenteeism sits at just 7.4%—less than half the state average (17.7%) and dramatically lower than Rome High School (25.7%) or Chattooga High School (28.1%). Academically, the school shines in Algebra I (74.8% proficiency vs. 48.1% statewide) and 8th grade Social Studies (60.4% vs. 40.2% statewide). Even more striking, 8th graders here post an 86.3% proficiency rate in high school Physical Science—a full 25 points above the state average—suggesting students are tackling advanced coursework early. The school also earns high marks for supporting special education students, ranking in the 82nd percentile statewide for that subgroup.

Model High serves a moderate-income population (about 40% free/reduced lunch), yet it outperforms schools with similar demographics across the region. Its spending per student ($14,022) is in line with Coosa High School and Pepperell High School, but results are notably stronger. The one area to watch is U.S. History, where proficiency (36.4%) dipped below the state average, and male students (78th percentile) trail their female peers (83rd percentile). Still, the school's post-pandemic recovery has been remarkable—chronic absenteeism dropped 64% since 2021-2022—and its stability across subjects makes it a dependable choice for families seeking a high-performing, well-rounded high school experience.

I have a Daughter graduate from Model and be ready and equipped to start her college career, The teachers are involved and care deeply for thier students.
