Summary

Flowery Branch High serves approximately 1,304 students in grades 9-12 in Flowery Branch, GA, part of the Hall County district, and currently holds a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the school's biggest strengths is its graduation rate. At 91.6% for 2024-2025, it beats both the district (88.5%) and state (87.2%) averages, and the school has stayed above 91% for five straight years. The dropout rate of 1.5% is also better than the state average. Another clear bright spot is Biology: 55.5% of students scored proficient on the state assessment, well above the state average of 47.2% and a huge jump from just 32% three years ago. This shows the school can make big academic gains when it focuses on a subject. However, Algebra I is a major concern—only 19.8% of students are proficient, far below the state average of 48.1% and even below the district's 38.7%. Nearby Cherokee Bluff High School, just 2.6 miles away, achieves nearly double that rate (37%) with a similar student population. Chronic absenteeism (21.1%) is also higher than the district (18.6%) and state (17.7%) averages, though it has improved each year since 2021.

Compared to other nearby schools, Flowery Branch sits in the middle of a competitive pack. It outperforms West Hall High School and Johnson High School in overall ranking, but trails Buford High School and Mill Creek High School. The school's overall state ranking has slipped from the 84th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 53rd percentile now, a gradual decline worth watching. On the positive side, per-student spending has risen to $12,003, and the student-teacher ratio has improved to 15.7:1. The dramatic improvement in Biology suggests that with similar targeted effort in math, Flowery Branch could reverse its downward trend and build on its solid graduation outcomes.
