Summary:
The Griffin-Spalding County school district in Georgia is home to 4 middle schools serving grades 6-8: Rehoboth Road Middle School, Cowan Road Middle School, Kennedy Road Middle School, and Carver Road Middle School. While the district faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education, Carver Road Middle School stands out as the top performer in the area.
Carver Road Middle School has the highest proficiency rates on state assessments, often exceeding the Griffin-Spalding County and state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, 84% of Carver Road students were proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to 26.5% for the district and 44% statewide. In contrast, Cowan Road Middle School appears to be the lowest performing school, with the lowest proficiency rates across nearly all subject areas and grade levels.
All 4 middle schools in the district face significant challenges, with very high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.32% at Rehoboth Road Middle School to over 98% at Cowan Road Middle School, Kennedy Road Middle School, and Carver Road Middle School. This indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations, which may be a contributing factor to the overall low performance of the schools in the district.
