Middle Schools in Lumpkin County

Lumpkin County, Georgia has only one middle school, Lumpkin County Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with some subject areas showing stronger proficiency rates compared to county and state averages, while others fall below. Despite having adequate funding and resources, including a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school's overall performance suggests room for improvement, particularly in the lower grade levels.

Lumpkin County Middle School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, going from 179th out of 567 Georgia middle schools in 2021-2022 to 262nd out of 588 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on the Georgia Milestones Assessment varies, with Algebra I and 8th grade Math showing stronger proficiency rates, but 6th and 7th grade ELA and Math falling below the Lumpkin County and state averages. This uneven academic performance suggests the school may need to focus on improving its overall academic outcomes, especially in the lower grade levels.

The school's relatively high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 39.79% for the 2022-2023 school year indicates a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. While the school's per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio suggest adequate resources, it's unclear how these resources are being utilized to address the needs of these students and drive academic improvement. Without additional middle schools in the Lumpkin County district, it is difficult to make meaningful comparisons and identify areas where the school may be performing exceptionally well or struggling relative to its peers.
