Johnson County Middle School

Summary:

Johnson County Middle School is a public middle school in Wrightsville, Georgia, serving 240 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Johnson County School District, which is ranked 107 out of 203 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the school's key strengths is its consistently strong performance on the Milestones Assessments, particularly in Algebra I, where it had a 100% proficiency rate in 2023-2024, far exceeding the Johnson County and Georgia state averages. However, the school's academic performance has been more inconsistent in other subject areas, and its statewide ranking has declined from 243 out of 559 Georgia middle schools in 2018-2019 to 303 out of 588 in 2023-2024. When compared to nearby schools, Johnson County Middle School generally outperforms T.J. Elder Middle School in Washington County but underperforms East Laurens Middle School in Laurens County.

One of the most notable characteristics of Johnson County Middle School is its extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 94.35% to 94.58% in recent years. This indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which likely contributes to the school's academic challenges and may require additional resources and support to address the needs of the 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.
