Eddy Middle School

Summary:

Eddy Middle School is a public middle school in Columbus, Georgia, serving 413 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Muscogee County School District, which is ranked 155 out of 203 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Eddy Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia middle schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eddy Middle School's academic performance is significantly below the Muscogee County and Georgia state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 8.7% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 27.7% in Muscogee County and 41.6% statewide. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with rates consistently above 96% in recent years. This suggests that the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. Additionally, Eddy Middle School's spending per student is relatively high, and its student-teacher ratio is generally higher than nearby schools.

When comparing Eddy Middle School to other middle schools in the Muscogee County School District, it is clear that Eddy is performing significantly worse academically. For instance, Blackmon Road Middle School and Richards Middle School both have much higher proficiency rates in core subjects and higher overall state rankings. The consistent low performance of Eddy Middle School suggests that additional resources and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the unique needs of the student population and improve educational outcomes.

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.
