Summary:

The city of Midway, Georgia, is served by two schools within the Liberty County School District: Midway Middle School (grades 6-8, enrollment 750) and Liberty Elementary School (grades K-5, enrollment 718), together serving roughly 1,468 students in a small, predominantly rural community.

The most striking story is at Midway Middle School, where advanced coursework results are exceptional even as grade-level scores lag. A remarkable 100% of its Algebra I students scored proficient in 2025-2026, compared to just 29.2% district-wide and 48.1% statewide, and 8th graders taking HS Physical Science hit 90.5% proficiency versus 60.9% statewide. Yet the same school saw 6th grade math at 26.2% (state: 40.7%) and a dramatic 8th grade science collapse from 33.5% to 18.3% proficiency. This paradox suggests a highly selective advanced track that excels, while the broader student body struggles. At Liberty Elementary School, results are mixed: 4th grade math surged from 44% to 50.4% (now above the state's 50.1%), but 5th grade math plummeted from 40% to 30.2% (state: 44.1%), and 3rd grade math dipped slightly to 38.5%. Both schools slipped in state percentile rankings—Midway Middle from 49th to 43rd and Liberty Elementary from 50th to 43rd—indicating peers are improving faster.

Chronic absenteeism is a systemic concern, with Liberty Elementary at 25.5% and Midway Middle at 19.7%, both exceeding the state's 17.7%. Liberty Elementary also serves a highly economically disadvantaged population, with a 96.24% free/reduced lunch rate. Per-student spending is similar ($13,270 at Liberty Elementary vs. $12,647 at Midway Middle), and student-teacher ratios are reasonable (14.8:1 and 16.2:1). English Language Arts scores for 2025-2026 are not yet available and will be released in December; the most recent data shows both schools near or below state averages. For parents, the key takeaway is that Midway Middle's advanced programs are a standout success worth investigating, but both schools face real challenges in grade-level proficiency and attendance that require attention.
