Summary:

Lee Middle School is a public middle school located in Sharpsburg, Georgia, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 743 students. The school is part of the Coweta County School District, which is ranked 44 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Lee Middle School has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, indicating strong academic performance.

Lee Middle School consistently outperforms the Coweta County and Georgia state averages in the Milestones Assessment across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Lee Middle School had 55.4% of 6th graders, 48% of 7th graders, and 55.3% of 8th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 47.8%, 41.3%, and 48.1% for Coweta County, respectively. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 16.4 to 17 students per teacher over the past three school years, which may contribute to more personalized attention and support for students. Additionally, Lee Middle School has seen a steady increase in its per-student spending, from $7,148 in 2016-2017 to $7,568 in 2018-2019, providing the school with additional resources to support student learning and extracurricular activities.

While Lee Middle School outperforms the Coweta County and Georgia state averages, it is interesting to note that some nearby schools, such as Bennett's Mill Middle School, Whitewater Middle School, and Rising Starr Middle School, which are part of the Fayette County School District, consistently outperform Lee Middle School and the Coweta County average in academic proficiency. This suggests that the Fayette County school district may be providing an even higher level of education to its students.

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.
