The Foundry

Public Grades 6-12

Summary

The Foundry is a public high school located in Gainesville, Georgia, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 54 students. It is part of the Hall County School District, which is ranked 124 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, The Foundry has struggled academically, ranking 346 out of 458 Georgia high schools in the 2023-2024 school year and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The Foundry's key metrics are significantly lower than the surrounding high schools, such as Cherokee Bluff High School, Flowery Branch High, and Johnson High School. The Foundry had a 37.5% four-year graduation rate in the 2021-2022 school year, compared to the surrounding schools' rates ranging from 81.3% to 97.9%. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones assessments were consistently lower than the Hall County and state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. The Foundry also had an exceptionally high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 80% to 87.04% over the past three school years, much higher than the surrounding schools.

Despite the school's current struggles, the low student-teacher ratio at The Foundry, ranging from 3 to 7.9 over the past three school years, presents an opportunity for the implementation of personalized strategies and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes. Collaboration with the district and community partners could help address the school's challenges and provide the necessary resources and support to set The Foundry on a path to success.
