Summary

Cass Middle School in Cartersville, GA, serves 917 students in grades 6–8 as part of the Bartow County School District, and has shown steady improvement over the past decade, climbing from the 51st to the 64th percentile in statewide rankings.

The school’s standout strength is its exceptional Algebra I program. In both the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years, 100% of tested students scored proficient or above—more than double the district and state averages. This is a remarkable achievement, especially when compared to nearby schools like Adairsville Middle School and Woodland Middle School at Euharlee, which also post strong Algebra I scores but don’t match Cass’s perfect two-year streak. Cass also excels in high school-level Physical Science, with 83% of 8th graders scoring proficient, well above the state average of 60.9%. In general math, the school shows a clear upward trend: 8th-grade proficiency jumped from 43.5% in 2022-2023 to 64.4% in 2025-2026, and 6th-grade math improved from 20.9% to 37.7% over the same period. However, 8th-grade science (25.5% proficient) and social studies (35.8%) remain below state averages, indicating areas for growth.

One of the most encouraging trends is the dramatic reduction in chronic absenteeism, which fell from 35.9% in 2022-2023 to just 16.1% in 2025-2026—now below the state average of 17.7%. This improvement likely supports the school’s academic gains. Cass also performs notably well for African American students, ranking in the 74th percentile statewide, while its performance for White and Multi-racial students is lower. Per-student spending has risen to $13,061, and the student-teacher ratio of 15.9 is competitive with higher-spending schools like Barber Middle School. While Crossroads Middle School and Sammy McClure Senior Middle School in Paulding County rank higher overall, Cass’s combination of strong math acceleration, improving attendance, and steady progress makes it a solid, improving choice in the Bartow County area.
