Summary

Chattahoochee County Middle School in Cusseta, GA, serves 199 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Chattahoochee County district, and has transformed from one of the lowest-ranked middle schools in the state to a solid mid-range performer over the past decade.

The most impressive story here is the school's dramatic turnaround. In 2015-2016, the school ranked in the 7th percentile of Georgia middle schools; by 2025-2026, it had climbed to the 52nd percentile (276th out of 578 schools) and has now earned a 3-star rating for three consecutive years. This improvement has come alongside a drop in the share of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch (from 86.1% to 66.3%), a better student-teacher ratio (now 12.2:1), and increased per-student spending ($13,982). The school also stands out for its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 6.0%—far below the state average of 17.7% and less than a third of the rates seen at nearby schools like Midland Middle School (26.1%) or Rothschild Leadership Academy School (26.4%).

Academically, the school shows real strengths in 6th grade math (49% proficiency vs. 40.7% statewide) and 8th grade social studies (53.2% vs. 40.2% statewide), with the latter improving by over 30 percentage points in just three years. However, there are areas that need attention: 7th grade math proficiency dropped sharply to 26.7% (15 points below the state average), and 8th grade physical science lags at 35.9% compared to the state's 60.9%. When compared to nearby schools, Chattahoochee County Middle generally outperforms the lower-performing cluster (including Baker Middle School and Eddy Middle School) but trails regional standouts like Richards Middle School and Aaron Cohn Middle School. Notably, the school achieves these results with less funding per student than several peers—Stewart County Middle School spends $21,954 per student yet ranks in the 9th percentile—suggesting efficient use of resources.

What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, November 5, 2013

I now understand why the rating for this school is so low!
I feel that this school does not currently meet the educational needs of a majority of the children served.I have chosen to withdraw my child from this school for a variety of reason but mainly because of the following two reasons:
• A majority of the teachers are not involved enough with helping their students learn the concepts they teach.
• There is a lack of educational services that help children that have learning disabilities or learning challenges such as tutorial, small group, or effective study sessions.
If you decide to enroll your child in this school, make sure that you are an active and involved parent. This way you can see the truth about this school for yourself. Don't just go by the rating....experience what I already know for yourself! Close Quote
