Q: Is Adamson Middle School a good school?

Adamson Middle School ranks 412 th of 588 Georgia middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Adamson Middle School is a public middle school located in Rex, Georgia, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 557 students. The school is part of the Clayton County School District, which is ranked 168 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Adamson Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia middle schools over the past several years, with a ranking of 412 out of 588 schools for the 2023-2024 school year and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Adamson Middle School's academic performance, as measured by the Georgia Milestones Assessment, is significantly below the state and district averages across multiple subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 22.3% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 41.6%. In mathematics, the proficiency rates for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades were 9.6%, 20%, and 33.1%, respectively, all well below the state averages. However, the school's performance in Algebra I is a notable exception, with 94.4% of students being proficient or better, significantly higher than the state average of 44% and the Clayton County average of 23.4%. Adamson Middle School also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 90.48% to 92.96% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing Adamson Middle School to the nearby schools in the Clayton County and Henry County districts, it becomes clear that Adamson is performing significantly worse academically. For example, Babb Middle School and M.D. Roberts Middle School, both in the Clayton County district, have higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across multiple grade levels. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may be a contributing factor to its struggles, and Adamson Middle School may benefit from additional resources and support to help improve student outcomes.

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.
