Summary

Duluth High School is a large, comprehensive public high school in Duluth, GA, serving 2,556 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Gwinnett County school district.

For parents, the most important thing to know is that Duluth High School has a strong graduation rate (86.9%) and a very low dropout rate (1.2%), which means the school is effective at keeping students enrolled and on track to earn a diploma. However, the school faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism—29.7% of students are chronically absent, which is nearly double the district average of 15.0% and well above the state's 17.7%. This pattern has persisted for five years and is likely connected to academic performance. In Algebra I, only 34.3% of students scored proficient, compared to 57.6% for the district and 48.1% for the state. Biology is a relative strength, with 48.9% proficiency, essentially matching the state average. The school's overall state ranking is in the middle tier (56th percentile, 3 stars), a decline from its peak in 2015–2019 when it ranked in the 80th–86th percentile range.

When comparing to nearby schools, the differences are stark. Just a few miles away, Northview High School (94th percentile), Johns Creek High School (97th percentile), and Chattahoochee High School (94th percentile) in Fulton County all rank in the top 6% of Georgia high schools, with Algebra I proficiency rates of 64–75% and chronic absenteeism below 17%. Within Gwinnett County, Peachtree Ridge High School (69th percentile) and Paul Duke STEM High School (74th percentile) also outperform Duluth on most metrics. The school's spending per student ($13,052) is lower than several comparable schools, and subgroup data shows the school is most effective for White students (77th percentile) and least effective for Special Education students (39th percentile). Addressing chronic absenteeism appears to be the single most impactful step the school could take to improve outcomes.

This is a great school Close Quote

by a parent
Monday, March 9, 2015

This is my first year at Duluth High, my son is in the 9th grade. I often email his teaching team about his progress and they always reply immediately to my emails. I have watched his grades, studied materials and classwork throughout the year and he is steadily succeeding. His teachers will notify me if there is any issues with his class performance. My son has been promoted to the honors English class.
I enjoy the racial makeup of the school, it is 25% equal across the board. It is 25% African-American, 25% Caucasian, 25% Asian and 25% Hispanic. The PTA is great and there are lots of opportunity to volunteer. I have volunteered twice this year and witness the students interacting with one another. The children seemed grouped according to interest and not ethnicity.
There are several issues that have to be stated along with the positive. The school's football program is struggling but my son, who plays football wanted to stay even after being offered chances of going to private schools. He believes in the coaches. You have to contact your child's teacher at least once a month. This communicates to them that you are concern and involve. You can not leave the school responsible for your child's success. I do not enjoy where the school is located, down in a little hole. Traffic is crazy dropping off in the morning. It takes me 10 mins to drop off starting at Buford and Brock. I don't know about the evening because he catches the bus home. Finally, there is drug activity, so you should truly be speaking to your child about saying no to drugs during their 8th grade year.
I only gave 3 stars because of the football program, hopefully when we graduate, I can give five stars. Duluth is a great school and we are wildcats for life. Close Quote
