Summary:
Zip code 30115 in Canton, GA is home to two high schools—Creekview High School and Sequoyah High School—both serving grades 9-12 within the Cherokee County School District, which ranks in the 89th percentile statewide.
Families in this area have access to two exceptionally strong schools. Creekview High School is the clear academic leader, earning a 5-star rating and ranking 46th in the state (90th percentile). It posts a 97% graduation rate—nearly 10 points above the state average—and a dropout rate of just 0.6%. Creekview excels in Biology, with 74% of students proficient, a full 27 points above the state average. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 11.2% is well below the state's 17.7%. Sequoyah High School is a solid 4-star performer, ranking 64th statewide (86th percentile). While its graduation rate of 94.7% and dropout rate of 0.6% are both strong, Sequoyah trails Creekview in most subjects. The one notable exception is US History, where Sequoyah actually outperforms Creekview (63.5% vs. 59.3% proficiency). Sequoyah's chronic absenteeism rate of 18.1% is a concern, exceeding both the district average (10.2%) and the state average (17.7%).
Both schools far exceed state averages across every subject, reflecting the strength of the Cherokee County district. Sequoyah spends slightly more per student ($13,156 vs. $12,731) yet achieves lower test scores, suggesting Creekview's success stems from factors beyond funding. Sequoyah also serves a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (26.3% vs. 19.6% free/reduced lunch), which may partially explain the achievement gap. Both schools have shown remarkable year-over-year stability in their state rankings, indicating sustainable success rather than one-year anomalies. For parents, this zip code offers two high-quality options: Creekview for the strongest overall academics and lowest absenteeism, and Sequoyah as a competitive alternative with a standout history program.
