Summary

Coffee Middle School in Douglas, GA, is a large public school serving 1,591 students in grades 6 through 8 within the Coffee County district. The school currently holds a 2-star rating, ranking 351st out of 578 middle schools statewide (39th percentile), a decline from its 3-star rating held through the 2021-2022 school year.

Compared to nearby Atkinson County Middle School—a 4-star school ranking 158th (73rd percentile)—Coffee Middle shows significant gaps in math and social studies. In 2025-2026, Coffee Middle's math proficiency ranged from 24.9% to 34.6% across grades, while Atkinson County posted rates between 43.2% and 61.5%. Similarly, 8th-grade social studies proficiency was 27.6% at Coffee Middle versus 52.1% at Atkinson County. However, Coffee Middle outperforms its neighbor in 8th-grade science, achieving 30.8% proficiency—above the state average of 29.7% and slightly higher than Atkinson County's 29.2%. This science strength has been consistent for four consecutive years.

Chronic absenteeism is a growing concern, rising to 23.8% in 2025-2026—well above the state average of 17.7% and Atkinson County's 17.2%. The school serves a high-poverty population, with 100% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, and per-student spending has increased from $9,159 to $11,420 over three years—slightly more than Atkinson County's $11,099—yet academic outcomes remain lower. Subgroup performance is particularly challenging for special education (9th percentile), migrant (8th percentile), and English learner (20th percentile) students. While math and ELA proficiency have remained relatively flat over four years, the school's declining rank reflects a failure to keep pace with statewide improvements rather than a sharp drop in absolute scores.

Open Quote Coffee Middle school made vast improvements in the 2010-2011 school year. Not only did they make AYP but the percentage of students passing the CRCT (state testing) increased drastically. The teachers collaborate with their content areas twice a week to discuss changes needed to lesson plans, assessments, and other instructional issues. The sixth grade made huge gains in the percentage of students that passed the CRCT in all subject areas and the API, Vette Stern has initiated changes that have led to changes in the methodology and instructional styles of all the teachers. Small group, differentiated, individualized instructional experiences are the foundation of the school instructional methodology. Coffee Middle School should be praised as a Georgia School Achievement and a leader in implementing research-based learning strategies and providing excellent instruction for all students.
