Campbell High School

Q: Is Campbell High School a good school?

Campbell High School ranks 158 th of 458 Georgia high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Campbell High School is a public high school located in Smyrna, Georgia, serving 2,928 students in grades 9-12. It is part of the Cobb County School District, which is ranked 52 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Campbell High School's test scores on the Milestones Assessments are generally lower than the Cobb County and Georgia state averages, it is outperforming some nearby schools, such as Pebblebrook High School and South Cobb High School, which have lower test scores and graduation rates. The school's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 46.63% to 48.53% over the past three years, may be a contributing factor to the lower test scores, as research has shown a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance.

Despite these challenges, Campbell High School has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, indicating a relatively stable level of performance compared to other high schools in the state. The nearby Cobb Horizon High School, a public virtual school, has significantly lower test scores and graduation rates, highlighting the potential challenges faced by students in a virtual learning environment.

I was apart of the IB programs and I’ve experienced a system quite so broken. The racism that goes unchecked was shocking to me as a student. That was my for at real introduction to institutionalize racism and how each teacher continues to propagate it. Close Quote

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.
