Summary

Franklin County Middle School is a public middle school located in Carnesville, Georgia, serving 828 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Franklin County School District, which is ranked 88 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of Franklin County Middle School's key strengths is its consistently strong performance in Algebra I End of Course exams, with proficiency rates ranging from 63.2% to 89.7% over the past few years, significantly outperforming the county and state averages. However, the school's performance in other subject areas, such as English Language Arts and Mathematics, has been relatively lower compared to the state averages. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.69% to 62.56% in recent years, suggesting a relatively high proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Interestingly, Franklin County Middle School has a higher per-student spending compared to the nearby Banks County, Hart County, and Stephens County schools, with spending ranging from $8,744 to $9,322 per student in recent years. The school has also maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.1 to 15.5 students per teacher in the past few years, which is lower than the nearby schools. These factors may contribute to the school's strong performance in Algebra I, but also highlight the need to address the relatively lower outcomes in other subject areas and the unique needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.
