Middle Schools in Forsyth County

The 11 middle schools located in Forsyth County, Georgia serve grades 6-8 and range in size from around 900 to 1,500 students. Several of these schools stand out as top performers in the district, with Riverwatch Middle School, Piney Grove Middle School, and South Forsyth Middle School ranking among the best in the state.

These top-performing schools consistently achieve high proficiency rates, with over 80% of students meeting or exceeding standards in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, some of the lower-performing schools in the district, such as Otwell Middle School and Little Mill Middle School, have proficiency rates below 40% in certain subjects. This disparity suggests a need for further analysis and targeted interventions to address the performance gaps between the highest and lowest-achieving schools.

Across the district, the middle schools generally outperform the state averages in Georgia, with the top schools ranking among the best in the state. However, the data also reveals a potential correlation between student socioeconomic status and academic achievement, as the schools with the lowest free and reduced-price lunch rates are also the top performers. Addressing these disparities and ensuring equitable access to high-quality education for all students in Forsyth County will be crucial for the continued success of the district's middle schools.
