Summary

Claxton Middle School is a public middle school in Claxton, Georgia, serving 385 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Evans County School District, which is ranked 204 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Claxton Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia middle schools over the past decade, with its highest ranking being 275 out of 545 schools in the 2015-2016 school year.

Claxton Middle School's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on the Georgia Milestones Assessments, is significantly lower than the state and county averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 8.4% of 6th graders at Claxton Middle School were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 41.3% statewide. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 92.47% to 96.83% in recent years, indicating a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. Despite the high spending per student, ranging from $9,209 to $10,344, the academic outcomes do not reflect this level of investment.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Southeast Bulloch Middle School, Bryan County Middle School, and Langston Chapel Middle School, generally outperform Claxton Middle School on academic measures. However, Claxton Middle School's performance on the Algebra I End of Course assessment is relatively stronger than its overall academic performance, suggesting the school may be able to provide more targeted support and instruction in this specific subject area. Unfortunately, the school's ranking and academic performance have steadily declined over the past decade, indicating the need for targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for the students it serves.

Too many students to teacher ratio so teachers can't keep up with students lagging behind. Plus teachers are teaching multiple grades so are hard to get in touch with. They don't offer any after school programs. Close Quote
