Summary:
Zip code 30025 is home to one high school, Social Circle High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Social Circle City district.
Social Circle High School is a mid-sized school with 629 students and a favorable 14.9:1 student-teacher ratio. The school's strongest performance is in student persistence: its 88.7% graduation rate exceeds the state average of 87.2%, its 2.0% dropout rate is below the state's 2.4%, and its 16.0% chronic absenteeism rate is lower than the state's 17.7%. These metrics suggest students are staying in school and completing their education. However, academic proficiency is a challenge. In the most recent year, only 19.7% of students were proficient in Algebra I, compared to 48.1% statewide, and Biology proficiency was 32.9% versus 47.2% statewide. The school's best subject is US History, where 36.0% proficiency is close to the state's 38.5%. In the prior year, American Literature proficiency (40.8%) actually exceeded the state average (40.4%).
The school's statewide ranking has slipped from the 49th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 36th percentile in 2025-2026, a decline of 58 positions. This drop occurred despite stable graduation outcomes, indicating the ranking is driven primarily by test scores relative to other schools. With 57.07% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, the school serves a majority economically disadvantaged population, yet maintains above-average completion metrics. Per-student spending is $14,018, and the school is the only high school in its district, so most district-level figures mirror the school's own data. The most actionable area for improvement is clearly mathematics, where proficiency lags significantly behind state averages.
