Summary

Eagle's Landing High School is a large public high school in McDonough, GA, serving 1,578 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Henry County School District.

Eagle's Landing faces significant academic challenges. In the most recent testing cycle, proficiency rates were well below district and state averages across all subjects—for example, only 16.2% of students were proficient in Algebra I compared to 48.1% statewide, and just 16.6% were proficient in U.S. History versus 38.5% statewide. The school's overall state ranking has declined over the past decade, from the 40th percentile in 2015–2016 to the 13th percentile in 2025–2026. Chronic absenteeism is also a major concern, with 30.7% of students missing significant school days—nearly double the state average of 17.7%. This attendance issue is closely linked to achievement, as nearby schools with lower absenteeism, like Union Grove High (9.7% absenteeism) and Woodland High (19.3%), show proficiency rates two to three times higher in most subjects. Compared to Dutchtown High, Eagle's Landing trails significantly in Algebra I (16.2% vs. 39.2%) and U.S. History (16.6% vs. 39.5%).

Despite these struggles, there are some encouraging signs. The school's graduation rate of 87.4% is slightly above the state average of 87.2%, and it has remained stable between 85% and 90% over the past five years. Biology proficiency has also shown meaningful improvement, rising from 15.3% in 2024–2025 to 21.9% in 2025–2026, suggesting targeted interventions may be working in science. The school spends $12,131 per student, which is lower than several nearby schools with better outcomes, and its student-teacher ratio of 20.5:1 is higher than most comparable schools. While Eagle's Landing outperforms EXCEL Academy and is comparable to McDonough High School, the gap with its higher-performing neighbors suggests that addressing attendance and providing additional academic support could help close the achievement gap in the years ahead.

Open Quote They are currently under a lawsuit
They do not treat students with dignity and respect, and have major issues with in the school, that a 3rd party should step in and investigate, so they can't keep sweeping things under a rug. Close Quote

Open Quote The video that they emailed out to parents for students going back to school is making a racist gesture of a certain race, and mocking the president of the United States. The sad thing is it was a student! Talking "country" and saying "fake news" really disappointed me! If the roles were reversed there is NO way on earth they could have gotten away with it. Because this is a predominately black school they can get away with it. Not fair at all. All of Henry County Schools have declined rapidly over the past 5 to 10 years. So Sad. Close Quote
