Summary

Collins Hill High School is a large public high school in Suwanee, GA, serving 2,485 students in grades 9–12 within the Gwinnett County School District. The school currently holds a 3-star rating, ranking 150th out of 455 Georgia high schools—a slight dip from last year but consistent with its decade-long pattern of landing in the upper-middle tier statewide.

Collins Hill's standout strength is its exceptional support for special education students, ranking in the 89th percentile statewide—a remarkable achievement for a comprehensive high school, especially when nearby alternative programs like Gwinnett InterVention Education (GIVE) Center East and International Transition Center rank in the bottom 10% for similar populations. The school also earns 4-star ratings for both African American and White students, a combination few nearby schools match. Biology proficiency is a consistent bright spot, with 51.5% of students proficient in 2025–2026—above both district and state averages. The graduation rate has climbed impressively from 82.7% to 89.5% over four years, now exceeding district and state averages. However, chronic absenteeism is a significant concern at 28.4%—nearly double the district average of 15%—a pattern that has persisted for five years. Algebra I proficiency also lags the district by about 9 percentage points, though it has recovered substantially from a dramatic dip in 2022–2023.

Compared to nearby comprehensive schools, Collins Hill posts stronger Biology scores than Central Gwinnett High School and Discovery High School, and its graduation rate improvement outpaces all peers. Its per-student spending of $12,706 is notably lower than Central Gwinnett's $14,292 and Discovery's $13,488, yet outcomes are better—suggesting efficient resource use. While the selective Gwinnett School of Mathematics- Science and Technology nearby ranks #1 statewide, Collins Hill serves a far broader student population and performs solidly among comprehensive high schools. The school's main challenges—attendance and Algebra I—are areas where targeted improvement could unlock further gains across all metrics.

Open Quote It really depends how you apply yourself. If you make the right connections and put in the work academically, opportunities will open up for you. However, the school does next to nothing to help students who need guidance. Collins Hill is great at helping the privileged, and terrible at helping the underprivileged. Close Quote

Open Quote 1 kid that graduated and 1 that is currently enrolled. Both my children are very different (one gifted & one not gifted - both kids involved in different activities at the school). I am a very involved Christian parent with a stable marriage and family life. I work from home. My children communicate and tell me a lot about the school. Stay away from this school and home school or choose another school if you can. Close Quote
