Summary

Ringgold Middle School in Ringgold, GA, serves 725 students in grades 6 through 8 and is part of the Catoosa County school district, which ranks in the top quarter of Georgia districts.

This school stands out for its exceptional math program. In the most recent school year, Ringgold Middle posted a perfect 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I End of Course assessment—a remarkable achievement compared to the district average of 54.9% and state average of 48.1%. This perfect score has been sustained for multiple years, indicating a highly effective advanced math program. Across all grade levels, math proficiency rates are consistently higher than both district and state averages. For example, 6th-grade math proficiency is 64.4% compared to the state's 40.7%, and 8th-grade math is 64.9% versus the state's 46.3%. The school also excels in science, with 8th-grade proficiency at 50.4%—well above the state average of 29.7%. These strengths have helped the school jump significantly in statewide rankings, moving from 144th to 78th out of 578 middle schools. The school also maintains a low chronic absenteeism rate of 13.8%, better than both district and state averages, and shows particular strength in supporting male students and special education students compared to schools statewide.
