Summary

Mt. Zion Middle School is a public middle school located in Carrollton, Georgia, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 343 students. The school is part of the Carroll County School District, which is ranked 58 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending compared to the state average, ranging from $9,251 to $9,587 in recent years, Mt. Zion Middle School has consistently performed below the Carroll County and Georgia state averages in most subject areas on the Milestones Assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the county and state in English Language Arts (6th-8th grade), Mathematics (6th-8th grade), and Science (8th grade). Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.94% to 77.55% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools in the Carroll County district.

The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past 10 years, from a high of 149 out of 543 Georgia middle schools in 2017-2018 to a low of 342 out of 577 in 2022-2023, suggesting a concerning trend of declining academic performance. When compared to other middle schools in the Carroll County district, such as Carl Scoggins Senior Middle School, Fairplay Middle School, and Villa Rica Middle, Mt. Zion Middle School consistently underperforms on standardized test scores, particularly in Mathematics and Science.
