Summary

Floyd Middle School in Mableton, GA, serves approximately 776 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Cobb County School District. The school has maintained a consistent 2-star rating and currently ranks in the 35th percentile statewide, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

The most striking feature of Floyd Middle is its exceptional Algebra I performance. In the most recent school year, 94% of Floyd students scored proficient or better on the Algebra I Milestones assessment, compared to just 48.1% statewide—a nearly 46 percentage point advantage. This outpaces even high-performing nearby schools like Tapp Middle School (95.5%) and Cooper Middle School (100%). However, this success does not extend to grade-level mathematics, where only 23-30% of Floyd students score proficient, well below district averages of 48-55%. The school also shows relative strength in 8th grade science, slightly outperforming the state average, but struggles significantly in social studies, where just 22.3% of students are proficient compared to 52.3% district-wide.

Chronic absenteeism remains a critical challenge, with 26.6% of Floyd students missing substantial school time—nearly double the district rate of 14.2% and the second-highest among nearby Cobb middle schools, trailing only Lindley Middle School at 29.7%. The trend is improving, however, down from 33.3% two years ago. Floyd spends $16,674 per student, the highest among nearby schools, and maintains a favorable 14:1 student-teacher ratio. While the school's overall ranking places it in the middle tier of its comparison group—outperforming Pearson Middle School and Smitha Middle School but trailing Griffin Middle School and Cooper—the Algebra I results demonstrate the school's capacity for excellence, suggesting that targeted support in other subjects could yield significant gains.

Open Quote The school is a great learning environment. The teachers are dedicated to the students and with parent involvement your kids will excel. They have programs that are not available at other schools and it is one of the best kept secrets in Cobb. The test scores are skewed and not an accurate view of the things that this school offers. My kids can just be kids and they are nurtured in an inclusive leaning environment. That's exactly what they need at this age. Close Quote

Open Quote Floyd teachers and staff are dedicated to their students. Technology plays a part in every classroom, tutoring is provided before and after school, teachers dedicate time to provide extracurricular activities with clubs and art/music programs - art club, chess club, robotics, Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl, photography club, chorus, environmental wellness club, and more. Student interests are encouraged and supported with Hispanic Heritage, Black History Month, and Floyd's Got Talent events. Floyd boasts TWO teachers chosen for recognition as 11 Alive Class Acts: Mrs. Eva Miano and Ms. Gennie Shelton. Community involvement includes yearly school-wide participation in fundraising for Rely for Life. Floyd students go on to high school, magnet programs, college and career training… and we come back to Floyd. We return to share our experiences, successes, and sometimes our struggles with people we know are always in “our corner” and love us. Close Quote
