Summary

Social Circle High School is a public high school serving 579 students in grades 9-12 in Social Circle, Georgia, which is part of the Social Circle City District. The school's performance has been mixed compared to nearby schools, with fluctuations in its graduation rates and test scores.

Social Circle High School's four-year graduation rates have ranged from 84.4% to 95.3% in recent years, generally on par with or slightly higher than the state average. However, the school's performance on the Milestones Assessments is mixed, with the school outperforming the state average in some subjects like American Literature and Composition, but lagging behind in others like Algebra I and Biology. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in its free/reduced lunch recipients, from 29.36% in 2022-2023 to 44.73% in 2023-2024, suggesting it serves a more economically disadvantaged population compared to nearby schools.

When comparing Social Circle High School to the surrounding schools, such as Grayson High School and Morgan County High School, the school's performance is mixed. While it outperforms some schools in areas like graduation rates and test scores, it lags behind higher-performing schools in these metrics. The school's fluctuating ranking and star rating from SchoolDigger, ranging from a high of 111 out of 438 Georgia high schools and a 4-star rating in 2018-2019 to a low of 263 out of 410 Georgia high schools and a 2-star rating in 2020-2021, also suggests that the school may be facing some challenges in maintaining consistent academic performance.
