Jenkins County Middle School

Summary:

Jenkins County Middle School is a public middle school located in Millen, Georgia, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 256 students. The school is part of the Jenkins County School District, which is ranked 114 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jenkins County Middle School consistently underperforms the state average in Milestones Assessment test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranged from 27.4% to 36.2%, compared to the state average of 39.8% to 44.7%. Similarly, in Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 26.6% to 39.4%, compared to the state average of 34.7% to 43.7%. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 93.36% to 100% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to the nearby Screven County Middle School and Burke County Middle School, Jenkins County Middle School performs significantly worse on Milestones Assessment test scores, despite having a lower student-teacher ratio. This suggests that factors beyond just student-teacher ratio, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and school resources, may be contributing to the school's underperformance. Addressing the root causes of the school's challenges will be crucial in improving outcomes for its students and the broader community.

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.
