Crisp County Middle School

Summary:

Crisp County Middle School is a public middle school in Cordele, Georgia, serving 796 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Crisp County School District, which is ranked 192 out of 203 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Crisp County Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance, as measured by the Milestones Assessment, is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 17.6% in 6th grade to 22.3% in 8th grade, compared to the state averages of 41.6%, 39.8%, and 44.7%, respectively. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 98.99% in 2022-2023 to 100% in 2020-2021, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While Crisp County Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.4 in 2022-2023 to 15.6 in 2020-2021, its spending per student has been relatively consistent, ranging from $9,697 in 2016-2017 to $10,065 in 2018-2019. This level of spending is higher than the nearby Turner County Middle School ($9,342 in 2018-2019) but lower than Wilcox County Middle School ($9,061 in 2018-2019). The challenges faced by Crisp County Middle School may be more systemic within the region, as the nearby schools also have relatively low academic performance.

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.
