Summary:
Zip code 30094 in Conyers, Georgia, is served by a single high school, Heritage High School, part of the Rockdale County School District, which enrolls roughly 1,788 students in grades 9 through 12.
Heritage High School presents a mixed picture for parents. On the positive side, its graduation rate of 90.6% exceeds both the district (89.5%) and state (87.2%) averages, and its dropout rate of 2.4% is right at the state average. However, academic proficiency on End of Course tests is a major concern. In Algebra I, only 15.7% of students are proficient, compared to 48.1% statewide—a gap of over 32 percentage points. Biology proficiency (26.4%) and US History (22.0%) also trail the state by roughly 20 and 16 points, respectively, though US History is a relative bright spot as it slightly outperforms the district average. The most alarming statistic is chronic absenteeism: 37.8% of students are chronically absent, more than double the state rate of 17.7% and well above the district's 28.6%. This attendance crisis likely drives both the low test scores and the school's declining state ranking, which has fallen from the 41st percentile in 2023–2024 to the 20th percentile in 2025–2026.
For parents, the key takeaway is that Heritage is a high-poverty school (75% free/reduced lunch) with above-average per-student spending ($12,804), yet outcomes are lagging. Test scores have remained essentially flat year-over-year, meaning the school is stagnating while other Georgia schools improve. The high graduation rate suggests students who stay engaged do finish, but the combination of severe absenteeism and weak math proficiency points to systemic challenges. English Language Arts scores are not yet available, as they will be released in December, so no conclusions should be drawn about that subject. Overall, families should weigh the school's strong graduation outcomes against its significant academic and attendance struggles.
