Summary

Rutland Middle School in Macon, GA, serves 849 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Bibb County School District, and currently ranks in the 22nd percentile statewide—a middle-of-the-pack position within its own district, though well behind several nearby schools in neighboring Houston County.

One of the school's clearest strengths is mathematics. In 2025-2026, Rutland's proficiency rates in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade math all exceeded the Bibb County district average—for example, 24.2% of 6th graders scored proficient versus 18.3% districtwide, and 26% of 7th graders versus 19.8%. The school also shines in advanced coursework: 39% of students taking the Algebra I End of Course exam scored proficient, well above the district's 22% and a steady improvement over the past two years. Special education students are a particular bright spot, ranking in the 46th percentile statewide—the highest star rating of any subgroup at the school. Chronic absenteeism has also dropped dramatically, from 38.3% in 2021-2022 to 28.1% in 2025-2026, closing most of the gap with the district average.

However, significant challenges remain. Science and social studies proficiency rates are low (16.5% and 17.2%, respectively), and while these exceed district averages, they trail state averages by wide margins—especially in social studies, where the state average is 40.2%. The contrast with nearby Feagin Mill Middle School in Houston County is stark: Feagin Mill's 8th grade math proficiency is 62.4% versus Rutland's 20.3%, and its Algebra I proficiency reaches 87.9-100% compared to Rutland's 39%. Within Bibb County, Rutland is the second-highest performing middle school, trailing only Miller Magnet Middle School, which achieves roughly double Rutland's proficiency in most subjects. Still, the school's overall ranking has improved for three consecutive years, and its spending of $13,675 per student is lower than several schools that perform worse—suggesting efficient use of resources and a modest upward trajectory worth watching.
