While the nearby Sumter County Middle School and Dooly County Middle School also perform below the state average, they have slightly higher academic proficiency rates and statewide rankings compared to Macon County Middle School. This suggests that the challenges faced by Macon County Middle School may be more pronounced than those of its neighbors. Despite the high spending per student at Macon County Middle School, ranging from $10,609 to $12,136 per student in recent years, the school's academic performance remains significantly below the state average, indicating that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to the school's challenges.

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.
