Summary:
The city of Roswell, Georgia is home to two middle schools: Crabapple Middle School and Elkins Pointe Middle School. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and are part of the Fulton County school district.
Crabapple Middle School is the standout performer, consistently ranking among the top middle schools in Georgia and significantly outpacing the Fulton County and state averages on standardized tests. In contrast, while Elkins Pointe Middle School still performs reasonably well, it lags behind Crabapple on many metrics, including statewide rankings and test scores.
The data suggests that the difference in performance between the two schools may be influenced by factors such as the socioeconomic status of the student population, as indicated by the stark contrast in free/reduced lunch rates (18.46% at Crabapple vs. 49.25% at Elkins Pointe). However, the relationship between school funding and student achievement is complex, as evidenced by the higher spending per student at Elkins Pointe without a corresponding improvement in academic outcomes.
