Middle Schools in Bibb County

The middle schools in Bibb County, Georgia serve a predominantly low-income student population, with all six schools having 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the district faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education, a few schools stand out in their performance.

Miller Magnet Middle School is the highest-performing school in the group, with the best statewide ranking, highest proficiency rates, and the lowest student-teacher ratio. Rutland Middle School also performs relatively well, with higher proficiency rates than the other Bibb County schools. Howard Middle School has the second-highest statewide ranking and generally better proficiency rates than the other schools, excluding Miller Magnet.

The remaining schools, including Ballard Hudson Middle School and Appling Middle School, lag behind in academic performance, with lower proficiency rates and lower statewide rankings. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to the disparities in student outcomes across the Bibb County middle schools.
