The Hall County School District is proud to announce an overall graduation rate of 87.9 for the 2024 school year. The overall graduation rate is a combination of the district’s four- and five-year graduation rates. The Georgia Department of Education has yet to release the overall graduation rate for the state.

Hall County’s four-year graduation rate of 86.9 surpasses the state average this year of 85.4%.

“We are thrilled with the continued growth in our graduation rates, particularly in key subgroups,” said Superintendent Will Schofield. “These results are a testament to the hard work of our students, the dedication of our educators—K through 12–and the strong partnerships we have with families and the community.”

Economically disadvantaged, Hispanic, and white students in Hall County posted averages that exceeded state averages for those subgroups.

Almost 65 percent of the students in the Hall County School District are identified by the federal and state government as economically disadvantaged. These students outperformed the state significantly in this subgroup, with an impressive graduation rate of 89.3%, compared to the state average of 83%. Hispanic students, who make up nearly 50 percent of the students in Hall County, achieved a graduation rate of 83.5%, outperforming the state average of 81.

White students in the state of Georgia graduated at a rate of 88.1%, while Hall County surpassed the state in this subgroup with an average rate of 91.2%.

“Our success with economically disadvantaged students and Hispanic students is something to take note of,” said Deputy Superintendent for Teaching and Learning, Kevin Bales. “While we celebrate these students and their achievements, continued improvement across the district in all subgroups is our goal. There are gaps to close for our black students, our English Language Learners, and our students with disabilities.”
