Summary:
The Rome City school district in Georgia has only one middle school, Rome Middle School. While the school's overall performance on state assessments is below the district and state averages, it does have some standout metrics worth noting.
Rome Middle School stands out for its exceptional performance in Algebra I, with a 100% proficiency rate on the Milestones Assessment/Algebra I End of Course exam in the 2023-2024 and 2022-2023 school years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 12.4 to 1, which is better than the state average.
However, the school faces some challenges, with proficiency rates in other subject areas ranging from 24.4% to 39%, below the district and state averages. The school also serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 54.97% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's per-student spending is slightly above the state average, targeted interventions and a focus on evidence-based instructional practices could help address the academic gaps and better serve the needs of the school's student population.
