Brantley County Middle School

Summary:

Brantley County Middle School is a public middle school located in Nahunta, Georgia, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 530 students. The school has consistently ranked in the top half of Brantley County middle schools over the past decade, currently ranking 156th out of 588 middle schools in the state and receiving a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brantley County Middle School has demonstrated strong academic performance, particularly in mathematics. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 8th-grade students achieved 58.4% proficiency in mathematics, significantly outperforming the state average of 43.7%. Additionally, the school's 8th-grade students achieved 46.3% proficiency in science, compared to the state average of 25.6%. The school has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13 to 14.7 students per teacher over the past three years, suggesting a more personalized learning environment. However, the school's performance could be further improved to better compete with the highest-ranked middle schools in the state, such as Pierce County Middle School, which is ranked 86th in Georgia.

This suggests a strong academic foundation being built at the middle school level. However, the school's performance is mixed when compared to the larger, higher-ranked Waycross Middle School (Ware County) and Pierce County Middle School, with Brantley County Middle School outperforming Waycross Middle School in several areas but lagging behind the high-performing Pierce County Middle School.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
