Summary

Midway Hills Academy is an elementary school in Milledgeville, GA, serving 392 students in grades 3-5 within the Baldwin County school district, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school is on a clear upward trajectory. Over the past four years, its statewide ranking has climbed from the bottom 7% to the 21st percentile, and chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically—from 30.4% in 2021-2022 to 16.0% in 2025-2026, which is now better than both the district and state averages. In math, Midway Hills now outperforms its district peers in every grade level tested (3rd, 4th, and 5th), and 5th grade science proficiency has nearly tripled since 2022-2023. The school also recently surpassed its closest local counterpart, Lakeview Academy, in overall state ranking and in 3rd and 4th grade math, though Lakeview still holds an edge in science. With a favorable 13:1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of about $15,500, the school has solid resources to build on this momentum.

Still, challenges remain. While math scores are improving, they remain well below state averages, and the most recent complete data (2024-2025) showed English Language Arts proficiency significantly trailing district and state levels—a trend to watch when new ELA results arrive in December. The school also shows notable differences in how subgroups perform, with African American students ranking in the 25th percentile statewide (the school's strongest subgroup), while White students and special education students rank much lower. Nearby Jones County schools like Turner Woods Elementary achieve far higher proficiency rates with a much lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students, highlighting the challenges of serving a 100% free/reduced lunch population. That said, Midway Hills' consistent improvement across multiple measures—attendance, math, science, and overall ranking—suggests recent strategies are taking hold, even if substantial ground remains to reach state averages.
