Summary:
Putnam County, Georgia has only one middle school, Putnam County Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance is mixed, with standout results in Algebra I but lower proficiency rates in other subjects compared to state averages. Despite these challenges, the school maintains a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is in the middle range of Georgia middle schools.
Putnam County Middle School's Algebra I proficiency rate of 96.7% significantly outperforms both the Putnam County and Georgia state averages. However, the school's English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies proficiency rates are generally below the state averages, particularly in the lower grades. This uneven academic performance suggests the school may need to implement targeted interventions to address these areas of weakness.
The school serves a high-need student population, with 80.91% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high concentration of economically disadvantaged students may contribute to the school's academic challenges and highlights the need for additional resources and support to meet the needs of this population. Despite these obstacles, the school maintains a student-teacher ratio of 11.9, which is slightly lower than the state average, suggesting a relatively favorable classroom environment.
