Summary:

Zip code 30240 in LaGrange, Georgia is served by two high schools within the Troup County school district: LaGrange High School, a large traditional school with 1,399 students in grades 9–12, and The Hope Academy School, a small alternative school with 83 students in grades 6–12.

These two schools serve very different purposes, and direct test-score comparisons would be misleading. LaGrange High School is the community’s comprehensive high school and shows strong persistence outcomes despite high poverty levels—87.2% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. Its graduation rate of 94.1% exceeds both the district (93.5%) and state (87.2%) averages, and its dropout rate of 0.7% is less than one-third of the state average. Chronic absenteeism (13.6%) is also below district and state figures. However, its End-of-Course proficiency rates lag state averages in most subjects, including Algebra I (35.9% vs. 44.9% statewide) and Biology (41.3% vs. 44.2%). Notably, its US History proficiency (33.2%) outperforms the district average (25.0%). The Hope Academy School serves a 100% free/reduced lunch population with intensive resources—$26,238 per student and an 8.3:1 student-teacher ratio—yet its proficiency rates are extremely low, including 0% in Biology and 4.2% in US History.

For parents, the key takeaway is that LaGrange High School demonstrates that a high-poverty school can keep students on track to graduate, even if test scores remain below state averages. Its recent state ranking decline (from 50th to 39th percentile) should be interpreted cautiously, as this release lacks English Language Arts data. The Hope Academy School is a specialized alternative placement school where the focus is on remediation and re-engagement rather than competitive academic achievement; its 0% Biology proficiency warrants further investigation into science instruction there. Overall, families in 30240 have two distinctly different educational options, with LaGrange High offering the more traditional path and stronger academic outcomes.
