Middle Schools in Brooks County

There is only one middle school located in Brooks County, Georgia - Brooks County Middle School. This school serves a high-poverty student population, with nearly 97% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite spending more per student than the state average, Brooks County Middle School is a low-performing school, with proficiency rates well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

Brooks County Middle School is ranked 481 out of 588 Georgia middle schools for the 2023-2024 school year, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. On state Milestones assessments, the school's performance is generally below the state average. For example, in 2023-2024, 6th grade ELA proficiency was 26.2% compared to the state average of 41.6%, and 8th grade Math proficiency was 20.3% compared to the state average of 43.7%.

The relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.5 suggests the school has a sufficient number of teachers, but the data does not indicate whether those teachers are highly effective in driving student learning and achievement. Overall, the data paints a picture of a struggling middle school that is serving a high-poverty student population but failing to deliver strong academic outcomes. Further investigation would be needed to fully understand the root causes of the school's performance challenges and identify potential strategies for improvement.
