Summary

Teasley Middle School in Canton, GA, serves approximately 1,586 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Cherokee County School District, a district ranked in the 89th percentile statewide. The school has climbed from the 48th percentile in 2021-2022 to the 60th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 3-star rating, and serves a student body where 58.6% qualify for free or reduced lunch—the highest among comparable Cherokee County middle schools.

The most striking differentiator is Teasley's extraordinary performance in advanced math: 100% of students taking the Algebra I End of Course assessment scored proficient or better in 2025-2026, compared to 62.3% district-wide and 48.1% statewide. This marks the fourth consecutive year of near-perfect results (98-100%). However, standard grade-level math tells a different story—6th grade math proficiency is 29.1% (district: 49.4%), 7th grade is 41.4% (district: 56.3%), and 8th grade is 53.8% (district: 63.1%). This creates a "two schools" dynamic: students in accelerated tracks excel (86.7% proficiency in High School Physical Science), while standard-track students lag 15-20 points behind district averages. The school also shows a dramatic turnaround in attendance, cutting chronic absenteeism from 28.9% in 2021-2022 to 10.3% in 2025-2026—now at parity with the district average.

Compared to nearby schools, Teasley ranks lowest among six Cherokee County middle schools analyzed—peers like Dean Rusk Middle School (90th percentile) and Creekland Middle School (89th percentile) outperform it in most subjects. For example, 8th grade social studies proficiency is just 36.8% versus 55.9% district-wide, and 8th grade science is 31.6% versus 42.3% district-wide. Yet Teasley's trajectory is positive, and its per-student spending of $13,565 with a 14.1:1 student-teacher ratio reflects reasonable resource allocation for a higher-need population. The challenge ahead is translating the success of its advanced programs to the broader student body.
