Summary

Glenn Hills High School in Augusta, GA, serves approximately 839 students in grades 9-12 within the Richmond County School District, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most significant challenge facing Glenn Hills is chronic absenteeism. At 57%, the school's rate is nearly double the district average (30.3%) and more than triple the state average (17.7%). This pattern has persisted for years, and it directly impacts academic outcomes. For context, the district's magnet schools—Davidson Fine Arts Magnet and Johnson Health Science and Engineering Magnet School—have chronic absenteeism rates around 6-7%, and they achieve 90%+ proficiency in Algebra and Biology. Glenn Hills, by contrast, sees proficiency rates around 10% in Algebra and 7% in Biology. The school's graduation rate also fluctuates significantly, dropping from 78.7% in 2023-2024 to 69.8% in 2024-2025, well below the state average of 87.2%.

There are some encouraging signs. In U.S. History, 16.9% of Glenn Hills students scored proficient—the highest rate among all traditional high schools in the district and above the district average. This represents a dramatic 13.3 percentage point jump from the prior year. The school's state ranking has also improved for two consecutive years, moving from the 3rd percentile to the 7th percentile. The dropout rate has fallen from 6.1% to 3.4%, now comparable to the district average. Per-student spending at Glenn Hills (~$12,180) is actually lower than several nearby schools, including Josey High School ($16,022) and Richmond County Technical Career Magnet School ($16,291), suggesting the issue isn't funding levels but how resources are deployed. Addressing attendance appears to be the single most impactful lever for improvement.

yall might think this is a bad school but it isnt. the teachers only want to help students that care. they try to reach out to others and must of the "bad" students get help. these teachers are the realest teachers ever. you can trust them no matter what. i was a bad student and my health teacher pulled me aside and we talked for hours. he helped me out a whole lot. i could of been on the streets doing who know's what. but he helped me out and now im at augusta state university, taking pschology.
so no matter what you think this is a GREAT school. Close Quote
