Middle Schools in Floyd County

The middle schools in Floyd County, Georgia consist of three institutions: Coosa Middle School, Pepperell Middle School, and Model Middle School. Based on the available data, Model Middle School stands out as the top-performing middle school in the county, consistently ranking among the best in the state and outperforming the county and state averages on standardized assessments.

While all three middle schools in Floyd County perform better than the state average, Model Middle School is the clear standout, ranking 71st out of 588 Georgia middle schools and receiving a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students demonstrate significantly higher proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones assessments compared to the county and state, with 64.7% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 52.6% for Floyd County and 48.2% statewide. Additionally, Model Middle School has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting it may have more resources per student.

In contrast, Coosa Middle School and Pepperell Middle School have seen declines in their statewide rankings over the past three years, and while they still outperform state averages, they lag behind the Floyd County district averages in many subject areas. The differences in student-teacher ratios and free/reduced-price lunch rates between the schools may be contributing factors to the performance disparities observed.
