Summary

Pepperell High School in Lindale, GA, serves about 866 students in grades 8-12 as part of the Floyd County School District, and it has been on a strong upward climb over the past decade—moving from a 2-star rating to a consistent 4-star rating and jumping from the 46th to the 77th percentile statewide.

The school’s standout strength is math. In Algebra I, 82.1% of students are proficient—far above the state average of 48.1% and ahead of every nearby high school, including Model High (74.8%), Armuchee High (69%), and Coosa High School (57.3%). This isn’t a one-year fluke—Pepperell has posted strong Algebra I results for four straight years. The school also excels with male students, ranking in the 82nd percentile statewide for that group. However, results are more mixed in other subjects: Biology proficiency (49%) is just above the state average but trails the district, and 8th-grade social studies (34%) is well below both district and state averages. On the bright side, 8th-grade physical science proficiency (70.8%) beats the district and state.

Pepperell’s graduation rate is a solid 94.6%, exceeding the state average of 87.2%, though it’s the lowest among the four Floyd County high schools. Chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically—from 31.9% in 2021-2022 to 15.2% now, a 52% improvement—but it remains about double the rate at Armuchee High and Model High. About 62% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and despite that, the school achieves results comparable to or better than peers with lower economic need. Spending per student ($13,932) is mid-range among nearby schools. Note: the latest test release doesn’t include English Language Arts scores—those come in December—so the most recent ELA data (from 2024-2025) shows Pepperell at 40.4% proficiency, matching the state but trailing Armuchee High (58.7%) and Model High (50.3%). Overall, this is a school on the rise, with clear momentum in math, attendance, and overall ranking.
