Summary

Northside High School in Warner Robins, GA, serves about 1,949 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Houston County district. The school has seen its statewide ranking drop from the 51st percentile in 2018-2019 to the 25th percentile in 2025-2026, placing it in the bottom quarter of Georgia high schools. Notably, 100% of students now qualify for free or reduced lunch, a sharp increase from 68% the previous year, reflecting a significant shift in the school's economic profile.

One of the biggest challenges is chronic absenteeism, which sits at 28.9%—nearly double the district rate of 15.6% and well above the state average of 17.7%. This pattern has persisted for five years, and nearby schools like Veterans High School (10.3%) and Houston County High School (12.7%) fare much better. Test scores also lag: Algebra I proficiency is 31.3% versus 54.6% district-wide, and U.S. History proficiency is just 8.7% compared to 38.5% statewide. Biology shows a brighter spot at 46.6%, nearly matching the state average of 47.2%, though it still trails district peers like Houston County High (90.3%).

On a positive note, the graduation rate has climbed from 75.8% in 2022-2023 to 87.8% in 2024-2025, now exceeding the state average of 87.2%, and the dropout rate has fallen from 4.6% to 1.5%. The school spends $12,993 per student—more than Perry High School ($11,889) and Warner Robins High School ($12,013)—yet outcomes remain mixed. Subgroup data shows particular challenges for special education students (19th percentile) and male students (21st percentile), while white students perform relatively best (43rd percentile). The school shares similar struggles with nearby Warner Robins High, suggesting community-wide factors at play, but the strong graduation gains indicate real progress in keeping students on track.
