Gordon County Schools is proud to announce an extraordinary graduation rate for the Class of 2025, with 95.5% of students earning their diplomas. Sonoraville High School reported a graduation rate of 96%, and Gordon Central High School reported a graduation rate of 94.8%. The College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) graduation rate measures the percentage of students who graduate from high school with a regular diploma in four or five years.
Gordon County Schools’ four-year graduation rate of 94.53% significantly exceeds Georgia’s 2025 state average of 87.2%, surpassing it by 7.3 percentage points. This milestone is based on the most recent report released by the Georgia Department of Education, which calculates graduation rates using a four-year cohort method in compliance with federal law.
The four-year cohort method follows a group of students from the start of ninth grade, adjusting for transfers in and out over the following three years. The graduation rate is then determined by dividing the number of students who graduate with a regular high school diploma by the total number of students in the adjusted cohort. For more than a decade, Gordon County Schools has consistently exceeded state averages.
Superintendent Alice Mashburn stated, “Congratulations to the Class of 2025. Their achievement reflects the strength of an entire community united with one purpose: student success. Teachers, staff, administrators, parents, and community partners have all played a vital role in preparing these graduates for the future. We will continue inspiring, supporting, and preparing every student for lifelong success and prosperity."
Gordon County Schools continues to demonstrate that student success is built on a foundation of rigorous academics, supportive educators, and engaged families. These graduation rates represent the district’s unwavering commitment to ensuring students are empowered to reach their full potential.
