Summary

Lee County High School in Leesburg, GA, is a large public high school serving 1,356 students in grades 9-12, and it stands out as a high-performing school within the Lee County district, which ranks in the top 10% statewide.

This school has a lot to be proud of. Its graduation rate is a standout at 94.7%, well above the state average of 87.2%, and its dropout rate is lower than the state's. Academically, the school shows a remarkable and consistent strength in U.S. History, with 64.6% of students scoring proficient or above—nearly double the state average. This isn't a one-year fluke; the school has outperformed the state in this subject for three straight years. The school also does particularly well for specific groups of students, with its White students and Special Education students both ranking in the top 15% statewide, suggesting strong support systems for diverse learning needs. When you compare it to nearby schools in the Dougherty County district, the difference is stark. For example, Westover High School ranks 317th in the state, while Lee County ranks 74th, and Lee County's U.S. History proficiency rate is more than triple that of Westover's.

However, there are a couple of things parents might want to keep an eye on. The school's Algebra I proficiency scores have been very inconsistent, swinging from 46.7% to 6.7% and back to 25.8% over the past three years—a volatility that could be due to a small testing cohort or changing course patterns. Also, chronic absenteeism is a growing concern at 15.5%, which is higher than the district average of 11.7%, even though it remains below the state average. While these are areas to watch, they don't overshadow the school's overall strong academic record and its position as a clear regional leader.
