Summary

Adairsville Middle School serves 862 students in grades 6-8 in Adairsville, Georgia, as part of the Bartow County School District, and has earned a steady 3-star rating while climbing from the 54th to the 64th percentile in statewide rankings over the past five years.

The school's standout strength is its advanced coursework. A remarkable 100% of students taking Algebra I scored proficient or better in 2025-2026, far outpacing the state average of 48.1%—a gap that has widened every year since 2022-2023. Similarly, 95% of students in the high school Physical Science pathway were proficient, versus 60.9% statewide. This suggests a highly effective program for high-achieving students. However, on-grade-level math tells a different story: 6th-grade math proficiency sits at 45.6% and 7th-grade at 39.2%, with the latter trailing both the district (42.3%) and state (42%) averages. The school also shows strong 8th-grade math results (61% proficient), beating nearby Red Top Middle School (34.6%) and Rome Middle School (37.4%). Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically, dropping from 26.9% to 13.7% in two years—now better than the district (15.8%) and state (17.7%) averages.

Areas for growth include social studies, where proficiency (33.6%) trails the state (40.2%), and standard 8th-grade science (28.9%), which lags behind Red Bud Middle School's 46.5%. The school's per-student spending of $14,143 is higher than most nearby schools, though its student-teacher ratio of 16.2 is less favorable than peers like Model Middle School (13.7). While overall performance is solid, subgroup data shows meaningful variation—Special Education students rank in the 59th percentile statewide, but other groups rank lower, suggesting uneven outcomes across different student populations. For parents, this school offers exceptional advanced pathways but may warrant attention to foundational math and science support for all learners.
