Summary

E. T. Booth Middle School in Woodstock, GA, serves 1,675 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the highly-rated Cherokee County School District, which holds a 4-star rating.

This large middle school has been on a strong upward trajectory, climbing from a 3-star rating in 2022-2023 to a 4-star rating and a statewide rank of 102nd out of 578 schools (82nd percentile) in 2025-2026. The most impressive highlight is its Algebra I performance: 96.9% of students scored proficient or better, far exceeding the district (62.3%) and state (48.1%) averages. The school has also shown a dramatic turnaround in 8th-grade science, jumping from just 18.9% proficiency in 2022-2023 to 47% in 2025-2026—now surpassing both district and state averages. Chronic absenteeism has also improved significantly, dropping from 27.9% in 2021-2022 to 9.6% in 2025-2026, which is now below the district average. Additionally, the school performs particularly well with African American students, ranking in the 88th percentile statewide for that subgroup.

Compared to nearby schools, E. T. Booth stands out for its efficiency and scale. It serves a larger and more economically diverse student population (about 41% free/reduced lunch) than Mill Creek Middle (31.5%) or Freedom Middle (29.7%), yet its science scores (47%) actually exceed both. It also achieves these results while spending less per student ($12,428) than many peers like Simpson Middle ($14,029) or Barber Middle ($16,189). While Woodstock Middle—just 1.75 miles away—has climbed to a higher ranking (74th), E. T. Booth matches it in advanced math and leads in 7th-grade math. The main area for growth is grade-level math, particularly in 8th grade, where proficiency (55.2%) trails the district (63.1%). Overall, E. T. Booth is a large, efficient school delivering exceptional results in advanced coursework and science, with a clear upward trend.
