Montgomery County Middle School has shown mixed performance on the Milestones Assessment compared to the state averages. While the school performs better than the state in some subject areas, such as 8th grade Science and Social Studies, it lags behind in others, particularly in 6th and 7th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 95.02% to 95.05% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's spending per student has remained relatively consistent, ranging from $9,009 to $9,347 over the past few years, which is slightly higher than the nearby Toombs County Middle School ($9,083) but lower than Wheeler County Middle School ($10,915). The school has a student-teacher ratio of 13.3 in the most recent years, which is slightly lower than the nearby Toombs County Middle School (13.7) and Wheeler County Middle School (12.7).

Montgomery County Middle School's performance on the Milestones Assessment has been inconsistent over the years, with the school's ranking among Georgia middle schools fluctuating between 167 and 454 over the past decade. When compared to the nearby middle schools, Montgomery County Middle School generally performs better than Toombs County Middle School and J.R. Trippe Middle School, but lags behind Wheeler County Middle School in most subject areas. The extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Montgomery County Middle School suggests that the school is serving a population with significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the school's academic performance and could require additional resources and support to address the needs of these 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.
