Summary:
The city of Midland, Georgia is home to 6 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The data reveals a mixed picture of school performance in the area, with some standout successes and some struggling schools.
Mathews Elementary School and Aaron Cohn Middle School are the top-performing schools in Midland, consistently ranking in the top 20% of Georgia schools in their respective categories. Mathews Elementary has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 3 years and excels in math and science, while Aaron Cohn Middle also holds a 4-star rating and has high proficiency rates in subjects like Algebra I. In contrast, Midland Middle School and Muscogee Youth Development Campus appear to be struggling, with much lower test scores and rankings compared to the Muscogee County district and state averages.
The data also reveals that the high free/reduced lunch rates at Midland Academy and Midland Middle School suggest these schools serve economically disadvantaged communities, which may contribute to their lower academic performance. However, student-teacher ratios do not appear to be a major factor, as all the schools have relatively low ratios. Additionally, spending per student does not seem to be a strong predictor of school performance, as the higher-performing schools generally spend less per student.
