Summary

Vidalia Comprehensive High School serves approximately 703 students in grades 9-12 in Vidalia, GA, as part of the Vidalia City School District.

The most striking thing about Vidalia Comprehensive is its graduation rate. For 2024-2025, the school posted a 96.8% graduation rate—nearly 10 points above the state average of 87.2%—and it has stayed above 92% for five straight years. The dropout rate is also low at 1.6%, below the state's 2.4%. Chronic absenteeism is another bright spot: at 13.7%, it's better than both the district (17.2%) and state (17.7%) averages, and far better than nearby Treutlen Middle/High School (24.9%) or Toombs County High School (25.8%). In fact, Vidalia's graduation rate beats Toombs County (94.0%) and nearly matches Montgomery County High School (97.0%).

However, test scores tell a different story. In 2025-2026, only 14% of students scored proficient in Algebra I (state: 48.1%), 35% in Biology (state: 47.2%), and 29% in U.S. History (state: 38.5%). Algebra I has been a persistent weakness, with proficiency rates ranging from just 5.4% to 21.1% over the past four years—well below state averages. Nearby schools outperform Vidalia in math (Treutlen: 42.5%; Toombs County: 45%), though Vidalia holds its own in U.S. History against Toombs County (29% vs. 19.7%). Biology is Vidalia's relative strength. The school also faces a significant demographic shift: the share of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch jumped from 52.6% in 2022-2023 to 81.08% in 2024-2025. Despite these challenges, the school spends $13,318 per student and maintains a 13:1 student-teacher ratio. The picture is one of a school that excels at keeping students on track to graduate, even as it works to boost academic proficiency in core subjects.
