Summary

Lumpkin County High School in Dahlonega, GA, serves approximately 1,125 students in grades 9-12 and holds a consistent 4-star rating within the Lumpkin County district, which ranks in the 71st percentile statewide.

This school stands out for its exceptional graduation rate, which has stayed above 97% for five straight years—reaching 97.8% in 2024-2025 and even hitting 99.5% in 2022-2023. That's roughly 10-15 percentage points higher than the state average and beats nearby Dawson County High School (97.3%) and White County High School (95.8%). Academically, the school shines in Biology and U.S. History end-of-course assessments. In 2025-2026, 57.2% of students scored proficient in Biology (10 points above the state average), and 61.7% scored proficient in U.S. History—a remarkable 23-point advantage over the state and far ahead of Gainesville High School (32.6% in Biology) and Chestatee High School (39.7% in Biology). The school also earns high marks for its Hispanic students, ranking in the 85th percentile statewide.

However, there are two areas parents should note. First, Algebra I proficiency is a persistent challenge: only 35.3% of students scored proficient in 2025-2026, compared to the state average of 48.1%. This gap has widened over several years and stands in stark contrast to White County High School, which posts a 60.7% proficiency rate in the same subject despite serving a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students. Second, chronic absenteeism runs at 19.8%, slightly above the district (17.1%) and state (17.7%) averages. On the positive side, the school achieves these results while spending less per student ($13,393) than Gainesville High School ($14,910) and Dawson County High School ($14,415), suggesting efficient use of resources. The school has also maintained its academic performance even as the percentage of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch rose from 34.4% to 44.2% over recent years.
