Summary

Saint Marys Middle School in Saint Marys, GA, serves approximately 1,077 students in grades 6-8 within the highly-rated Camden County School District, which ranks 11th out of 201 districts statewide. The school has earned a 4-star rating and ranks in the top 20% of Georgia middle schools, placing 110th out of 578 schools in the most recent year. While its ranking has eased from a peak of 42nd in 2020-2021, it has consistently remained a strong performer throughout the past decade.

What truly sets this school apart is its exceptional performance in advanced coursework. An impressive 100% of students taking the Algebra I End of Course exam scored proficient or better—far exceeding the state average of 48.1%—and this perfect rate has been maintained for two consecutive years. Similarly, 97.9% of 8th graders taking High School Physical Science scored proficient, compared to just 60.9% statewide. The school also shows consistent strength in 8th-grade science (51.4% proficient vs. 29.7% statewide) and 8th-grade math (60.5% vs. 46.3% statewide). Notably, Saint Marys Middle School outperforms its nearby counterpart, Camden Middle School, in most subjects—including science, social studies, and math—while spending less per student ($10,528 vs. $11,484), suggesting strong financial efficiency.

The school also demonstrates notable strengths in serving specific student groups, with Hispanic students ranking in the 87th percentile statewide and Special Education students in the 81st percentile. However, chronic absenteeism remains a concern at 23.7%, above the state average of 17.7%, and there is room for growth in serving multi-racial and African American students. Despite these challenges, the school's ability to achieve top-tier results in advanced math and science while serving a student body where nearly half qualify for free or reduced lunch paints a picture of a well-functioning institution that is effectively translating resources into strong academic outcomes.
