Summary:
Zip code 31805 is home to just one high school, Chattahoochee County High School, which serves grades 9-12 in Cusseta, Georgia, as part of the Chattahoochee County district.
For parents considering this school, the standout feature is exceptional attendance: only 3.0% of students are chronically absent, compared to the state average of 17.7%—a remarkable achievement given that nearly 59% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The graduation rate also exceeds the state average at 88.8% versus 87.2%. Academically, the picture is mixed. Algebra I is a clear bright spot, with 50% of students proficient, slightly above the state’s 48.1%, and it improved by 8.1 points from the prior year. However, Biology (31.9% proficient) and U.S. History (25.6% proficient) lag significantly behind state averages by 15.3 and 12.9 points, respectively, and both subjects declined year-over-year. The school’s state ranking has slipped from the 57th percentile (3 stars) in 2023-2024 to the 40th percentile (2 stars) in 2025-2026, driven largely by these test score declines.
Despite the ranking drop, the school shows strengths beyond test scores. The student-teacher ratio of 15.1:1 is favorable, and per-student spending is $13,947. The low absenteeism and above-average graduation rate suggest strong student engagement and community support, even as science and history proficiency remain challenges. The improvement in Algebra I indicates that targeted instructional strategies can work, and replicating that approach in other subjects could help reverse the downward ranking trend. With only one high school in the district, all district-level metrics directly reflect this school’s performance, making it the sole focus for families in this area.
