East Hall Middle School

Summary:

East Hall Middle School is a public middle school located in Gainesville, Georgia, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 909 students. The school is part of the Hall County School District, which is ranked 124 out of 203 districts in Georgia and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

East Hall Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Georgia middle schools, with performance on the Milestones Assessments significantly below the Hall County and Georgia averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 22.5% of 6th and 7th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 35.3% and 41.6% for Hall County and Georgia, respectively. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 66.98% to 78.11% over the past 3 years, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Cherokee Bluff Middle (30.1%) and North Hall Middle (31.14%).

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.2 to 14.5 over the past 3 years, East Hall Middle School's consistently low academic performance suggests that there may be other factors, such as curriculum, instructional practices, or school leadership, that need to be addressed to improve student outcomes. The nearby schools, such as Cherokee Bluff Middle, C.W. Davis Middle, and North Hall Middle, generally outperform East Hall Middle School on academic measures, despite being part of the same Hall County School District.

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.
