Pepperell Middle School is a public middle school located in Lindale, Georgia, serving grades 5-7 with a student population of 497. It is part of the Floyd County School District, which is ranked 32 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pepperell Middle School's test scores, as measured by the Milestones Assessment, are generally lower than the Floyd County and Georgia state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranged from 36.3% to 52.1%, compared to 43.0% to 46.3% for Floyd County and 40.7% to 43.0% for Georgia. Similarly, in Mathematics, Pepperell's proficiency rates were 39.0% to 55.2%, compared to 51.2% to 56.8% for Floyd County and 37.3% to 42.6% for Georgia. Pepperell Middle School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 135 out of 584 Georgia middle schools in 2024-2025 (4-star rating) to 336 out of 543 in 2017-2018 (2-star rating), indicating inconsistent performance compared to other middle schools in the state.

Pepperell Middle School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 63.85% to 65.39% in recent years, suggesting a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds compared to the surrounding schools. When comparing Pepperell Middle School to nearby schools in the same district, such as Model Middle School and Coosa Middle School, as well as schools in other districts, Pepperell's academic performance is generally lower. However, the school's higher spending per student, at $9,838 in 2018-2019, does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as teaching quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may play a more significant role in the school's performance.

Amazing school and teachers. My child had always struggled in Math until coming up to the middle school. Math is not a burden any longer and she has become very good at it. The teachers take their time with the kids, let them be kids but give them responsibility along the way. Close Quote
