Despite these challenges, there are signs of potential improvement at Villa Rica Middle. The school's student-teacher ratio has decreased from 16.0 in 2020-2021 to 14.7 in 2022-2023, indicating a potential improvement in the student-teacher ratio. By identifying and replicating the strategies that have led to the school's success in Algebra I, as well as addressing the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population, the school and Carroll County School District can work towards improving the educational outcomes for the students at Villa Rica Middle.

Open Quote The overall feel of the school is horrible. The front office staff is difficult to deal with, combative, and blatantly rude. There is no communicate between parent and teachers. The education received there is poor on its best day. In 2 years I have yet to have a decent experience with them. My family will be relocating to keep from spending anymore time in this situation. I know 4 parents who are homeschooling until the end of middle school because the school is intolerable. If you are thinking of moving into this district. Don't. I wish someone had told me not too.

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.
