Summary

Rex Mill Middle School in Rex, GA, serves approximately 904 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Clayton County School District, and has been steadily climbing in statewide rankings over the past several years.

The most impressive story at Rex Mill is its advanced coursework program. In the most recent testing year, 100% of students taking the Algebra I End of Course assessment scored proficient or better—compared to just 31% district-wide and 48% statewide. This continues a remarkable multi-year trend, with proficiency rates above 90% in recent years. The school also shines in high school Physical Science (taken by 8th graders), where 78.6% of students scored proficient, far exceeding both district and state averages. This success extends to specific student groups: Rex Mill ranks in the 73rd percentile statewide for English Language Learners (a 4-star rating) and the 57th percentile for African American students, both well above the school's overall 32nd percentile ranking. When compared to nearby Adamson Middle School and Forest Park Middle School, Rex Mill outperforms both in nearly every subject area, and its Algebra I results even exceed the impressive 97.2% proficiency at Austin Road Middle School in Henry County.

However, there is a stark contrast between advanced and grade-level coursework. While 100% of Algebra I students are proficient, only about 22-32% of students are proficient in grade-level math (6th, 7th, and 8th grades), and 8th grade science proficiency sits at just 21.3%. Social studies (23.2% proficient) also trails the state average of 40.2%. Chronic absenteeism (24.7%) remains a challenge—higher than the state's 17.7%—and Special Education students rank in the 12th percentile statewide. Still, the overall trajectory is positive: Rex Mill has improved from a 1-star to a 2-star rating, climbing from the 18th to the 32nd percentile in four years. The school's ability to achieve near-universal proficiency in advanced math demonstrates its instructional potential; the next step is translating that success to all students.
