Summary:
Charlton County, Georgia has only one middle school, Bethune Middle School, which serves grades 5-8 and has a total enrollment of 476 students. The school is part of the Charlton County School District, which is ranked 26th out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Bethune Middle School's performance on the Georgia Milestones assessments has been mixed in recent years, with the school outperforming the state average in some grade levels and subjects, but underperforming in others. For example, in 2024-2025, the school outperformed the state in 6th grade ELA and Math, but underperformed in 8th grade Math. The school's free/reduced lunch rate is relatively high at 76.47%, indicating that it serves a student population with significant economic challenges.
Despite these challenges, Bethune Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.4 to 1, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students. However, the school's per-student spending of $8,949 in 2018-2019, while slightly above the state average, may not be sufficient to fully address the needs of its student population and support improved academic outcomes.
