Summary

Brunswick High School in Brunswick, GA, serves approximately 1,951 students in grades 9-12 within the Glynn County School District. This is a school with an extraordinary story of improvement, climbing from the 48th percentile in statewide rankings a decade ago to the 83rd percentile today, earning a 4-star rating while serving a student body where 91% qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most impressive headline is the school's 99.8% graduation rate—more than 12 points above the state average and even slightly higher than nearby Glynn Academy's 98.4%. This success extends across every student subgroup, with all eight reported groups ranking in the 71st percentile or higher statewide. Particularly noteworthy is the school's work with English Language Learners, who rank in the 90th percentile statewide—the only subgroup to earn a 5-star rating. Academically, Brunswick High outperforms the state average on most End of Course tests, with U.S. History proficiency (63.6%) exceeding the state by an extraordinary 25 points and Biology (61.8%) beating the state by nearly 15 points. The school also shows strong results for Hispanic students (88th percentile) and African American students (85th percentile).

While the school has made remarkable progress, some challenges remain. Chronic absenteeism, though down dramatically from 45.8% to 20.3% over four years, still exceeds state averages. Algebra I proficiency (45.4%) trails the state (48.1%) and district (57%) averages, an area worth watching. However, the school's trajectory is undeniably positive—improving its ranking by 80 positions in just four years, even as economic need among students rose sharply. For parents, this is a school that has demonstrated it can deliver strong results and high graduation rates for all students, regardless of background.
