Summary

Carrollton Middle School in Carrollton, GA, serves 1,280 students in grades 6-8 within the Carrollton City district, making it the largest middle school in its immediate area and one that has held a steady 3-star rating for the past decade.

The school's standout strength is its advanced coursework. A remarkable 100% of students taking Algebra I scored proficient or better in recent years—more than double the state average—and 90.9% of 8th graders taking High School Physical Science also met proficiency, far exceeding state norms. This suggests a highly effective pipeline for identifying and accelerating students ready for high school-level work. At the same time, grade-level math and science proficiency rates are more modest, with 6th grade math at 36.4% (below the state's 40.7%) and 8th grade science at 32.1% (just above the state's 29.7%). This creates a clear contrast: the school excels at pushing its top students forward, but has more room to grow in lifting overall grade-level performance. Nearby Central Middle School, just 1.8 miles away, has surged to a 5-star rating with much higher grade-level proficiency (69.7% in 6th grade math), yet Carrollton matches Central's Algebra I results (100% vs. 98.7%).

Another notable success is chronic absenteeism, which has dropped dramatically from 28.9% in 2021-2022 to 15.2% recently—a 47% reduction that now places the school below both district and state averages. This improvement, paired with a lower student-teacher ratio (16.7, down from 19.3) and increased per-student spending ($11,622), suggests a school investing in stability and support. While Hispanic, Multi-racial, and English Language Learner students show more modest outcomes compared to their peers, the school's overall consistency—ranking between the 55th and 67th percentiles statewide for a decade—reflects a reliable environment. For parents, the key takeaway is a school with exceptional advanced pathways and improving attendance, but with grade-level academics that may require additional attention or support at home.
