Summary
Zebulon High School is a small, public virtual high school serving grades 9-12 in Zebulon, Georgia, which is part of the Pike County School District. Unfortunately, this school has consistently struggled, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of high schools in Georgia over the past several years and receiving a 0 or 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very low academic performance.
Key issues at Zebulon High School include declining graduation rates, which have dropped from 96.7% in 2020-2021 to just 57.5% in 2017-2018, as well as significantly lower test scores compared to state and county averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 15.4% of Zebulon students were proficient or better in American Literature and Composition, compared to 29.7% in the Pike County district and 42% statewide. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 46.43% to 55.36%, and relatively low per-student spending, ranging from $2,522 to $3,345 per student.
In comparison, the nearby Pike County High School is ranked much higher (209 out of 458 in 2023-2024) and has higher graduation rates, test scores, and per-student spending. The combination of a small student population, high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and lower per-student spending may be contributing to Zebulon High School's consistently low academic performance and declining graduation rates, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
