Middle Schools in Henry County

The 11 middle schools located in Henry County, Georgia serve grades 6-8 and include a mix of public institutions. While some schools, like Union Grove Middle and Ola Middle, consistently rank among the top performers in the state, others, such as Stockbridge Middle and McDonough Middle, struggle to meet state and county averages on academic measures.

The data reveals significant disparities in academic achievement across the middle schools, with some institutions, like Union Grove Middle, excelling in subjects like English Language Arts and Mathematics, while others, such as Stockbridge Middle, lag behind. Additionally, schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, like Stockbridge Middle and Hampton Middle, tend to have lower proficiency rates, highlighting the challenges faced by high-poverty schools.

Despite these disparities, some schools stand out in specific subject areas, such as Dutchtown Middle with its impressive Algebra I proficiency rate. The data suggests that factors beyond just school-level metrics, such as student demographics and community characteristics, play a significant role in shaping academic outcomes, underscoring the need for a multifaceted approach to address these inequities and support student learning across Henry County.
