Summary:

Callaway High School is a public high school located in Hogansville, Georgia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 921 students. The school is part of the Troup County School District, which is ranked 103 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the Troup County district, Callaway High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia high schools, maintaining a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 10 years. The school's four-year graduation rates have ranged from 84.1% to 91.2% over the past 5 years, which is lower than the state average and the nearby Troup County High School. Callaway High School's proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones assessments are also consistently lower than the Troup County and state averages across all subject areas.

One potential factor contributing to Callaway High School's performance challenges is its high poverty rates, ranging from 49.39% to 94.03% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch over the past 3 years. This is significantly higher than the nearby LaGrange High School. Despite the increased per-student spending at Callaway High School, from $9,300 in 2016-2017 to $11,357 in 2018-2019, the school's performance continues to lag behind other high schools in the Troup County district.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
