Summary

Byron Middle School is a public middle school serving 472 students in grades 6-8 in Byron, Georgia. The school is part of the Peach County School District, which is ranked 161 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of Byron Middle School's key strengths is its consistent academic performance, outpacing the Peach County and Georgia state averages in several subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 66.7% of Byron Middle School students were proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to just 19% for Peach County and 44.9% for the state. The school also had strong English Language Arts proficiency rates, ranging from 36.6% to 44.5% across grade levels. Additionally, Byron Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.9 to 14.6 over the past few years, lower than nearby Fort Valley Middle School and other schools in the region.

While Byron Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, from 153 out of 559 Georgia middle schools in 2018-2019 to 320 out of 588 in 2023-2024, it still maintains a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's higher per-student spending, ranging from $8,984 to $9,871 over the past few years, may contribute to its academic success. However, the school's free and reduced lunch rate, while decreasing from 81.96% in 2022-2023 to 58.05% in 2023-2024, remains higher than the state average, indicating the need to address socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population.
