Summary

McClure Health Science High School is a specialized health science magnet school in Duluth, GA, serving 1,237 students in grades 9-12 within the Gwinnett County School District, where 85.7% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most striking thing about McClure is its graduation rate. At 92.7% for the 2024-2025 school year, it dramatically outpaces both the district (85.4%) and state (87.2%) averages—and it has stayed above 92% for five straight years. This is especially impressive given that nearly 86% of students come from low-income households. Nearby schools with similar poverty levels tell a very different story: Meadowcreek High School (85.5% free/reduced lunch) graduates only 82.6% of students, and Berkmar High School (76.6%) graduates just 82.4%. McClure’s dropout rate of 1.8% is also less than half of Meadowcreek’s 4.3%. The school is particularly effective with special education students (ranking in the 90th percentile statewide) and African American students (86th percentile), suggesting its health science focus and support systems work well for populations that often face achievement gaps elsewhere.

However, the picture is more complex when it comes to test scores. While McClure’s Algebra I proficiency (34.3%) and Biology proficiency (44.8%) lag district averages, they actually compare favorably to nearby high-poverty schools—Biology proficiency beats Meadowcreek (18%), Berkmar (27.8%), and Norcross High School (37.5%). The school’s biggest challenge is chronic absenteeism at 22.8%, which is higher than the district average (15.0%) but far better than Berkmar (41.9%) or Meadowcreek (43.3%). McClure’s statewide rating dipped from 3 stars to 2 stars this year, yet its ability to keep students engaged through graduation—despite significant socioeconomic challenges—remains its defining strength. For parents, this is a school that clearly prioritizes getting students across the finish line, even as academic proficiency remains a work in progress.
