With 226 students, Quitman Middle School has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 5 school years.

Quitman Middle School's test scores are generally higher than the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 39.9% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Reading, compared to the state average of 34.7%. In Mathematics, 36.8% of students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 38.7%.

While Quitman Middle School performs well overall, it has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50.47% to 55.78% over the past 3 school years, which is higher than the nearby schools. This suggests that the school may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population, yet still maintaining strong academic performance. The school's consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger is a testament to its academic quality, and its strengths in specific subject areas, such as Algebra and Science, are noteworthy. However, the school may also benefit from focusing on areas where its performance is lower than the state average, such as 8th-grade Mathematics, to ensure that all students are receiving a well-rounded and high-quality education.
