Middle Schools in Greene County

With only one middle school located in Greene County, Anita White Carson Middle School serves as the sole option for students in grades 5-8 in the area. The school has faced significant challenges, consistently underperforming compared to state and county averages on the Georgia Milestones Assessment across multiple subjects and grade levels.

Anita White Carson Middle School's performance is concerning, with the school ranked 464 out of 584 Georgia middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in 5th grade ELA, 8th grade Math, and 8th grade Science all fall below the county and state averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5, the high per-student spending of $13,660 and the consistently low academic performance suggest that the school may be facing challenges in effectively allocating and utilizing resources to support student learning. These factors, combined with the school's isolation as the sole middle school option in Greene County, highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for the students of Anita White Carson Middle School.
