Middle Schools in Floyd County

The middle schools in Floyd County, Georgia serve students in grades 6-8 and include Model Middle School, Pepperell Middle School, and Coosa Middle School. Based on the available data, Model Middle School stands out as the highest-performing school in the group, consistently ranking higher in the statewide SchoolDigger rankings and demonstrating stronger student proficiency on the Milestones Assessments.

While the spending per student is relatively similar across the three schools, ranging from $8,979 to $9,838, there are notable differences in other key metrics. Model Middle School has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (42.55%) compared to Pepperell Middle (65.39%) and Coosa Middle (66.04%), which may contribute to its stronger academic performance. Additionally, Coosa Middle has a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.5, compared to 14.3 at Model Middle and 13.8 at Pepperell Middle, but this does not seem to translate into higher test scores.

Overall, the data suggests that Model Middle School is the standout performer among the middle schools in Floyd County, with consistently higher test scores and a stronger statewide ranking. The differences in student demographics and resource allocation across the schools may play a role in their varying levels of academic achievement, though further analysis would be needed to fully understand the factors contributing to these performance disparities.
