This school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic performance, ranking in the top 20% of Georgia middle schools with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Key factors that set Aaron Cohn Middle School apart include its strong academic results, with 90% of students proficient or better in Algebra I compared to 32.7% for Muscogee County and 44% for Georgia. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15-16 students per teacher and higher spending per student than the state average. However, there are significant disparities in performance when compared to nearby schools within the same district, suggesting factors beyond just school-level resources may be contributing to the school's success.

While Aaron Cohn Middle School is a high-performing school, there is still room for improvement, particularly in subjects like Mathematics and Science. Identifying and addressing the specific challenges in these areas could help the school further enhance its academic outcomes. The school's success may also be influenced by its relatively low percentage of free and reduced-lunch recipients compared to nearby schools, indicating a more affluent student population.

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.
