Thomas County Central High School’s four-year graduation rate for 2022 is 98.5%, and Bishop Hall Charter School had an 80.8% graduation rate as announced by the Georgia Department of Education. 

“Congratulations to the Class of 2022 on this outstanding achievement,” said Superintendent Dr. Lisa Williams. “Thank you also to our parents, school system employees, board members, and remaining stakeholders who supported and encouraged our graduates. This is a true reflection of the hard work and dedication of our entire school community and the amazing students and teachers that make up our system.”  

Thomas County educators’ commitment to student success helped the district graduate students at a higher rate than the state average of 84.1%. Georgia’s graduation rate has increased by 14.4 percentage points since 2012. A total of 107 Georgia school districts recorded graduation rates at or above 90%. The overall graduation rate for the Thomas County School District is 93.7%. which includes the four-year graduates from Thomas County Central, Bishop Hall Charter, and The Renaissance Center.      

The Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) calculates the graduation rate using the federally mandated “adjusted cohort rate.” The cohort is established when students initially start as freshmen in Thomas County School and adjusted for student transfers, and ultimately reflects the number of students in the district who graduated within four years.
