Summary

Evans Middle School in Evans, GA, serves approximately 1,030 students in grades 6-8 as part of the highly-rated Columbia County School District, which ranks in the top 8% of districts statewide. The school currently holds a 4-star rating and ranks in the 81st percentile of Georgia middle schools, placing it comfortably in the top fifth of schools across the state.

Evans Middle's standout strength is its advanced math pathway. In 2025-2026, 74.2% of students scored proficient or better on the Algebra I End of Course exam—a 20-point advantage over the district average and a 26-point edge over the state. While this represents a dip from the school's remarkable 93.1% proficiency rate the previous year, it remains a significant differentiator. Grade-level math performance is also strong, with 6th, 7th, and 8th grade proficiency rates (58-63%) running 15-16 points above state averages. The school also excels in 8th grade Social Studies, where 66.3% of students are proficient versus just 40.2% statewide. Notably, the school serves Hispanic students and Special Education students exceptionally well, with both subgroups ranking in the 84th-88th percentile statewide.

One area worth watching is 8th grade Science, where only 15.2% of students scored proficient—well below the state average of 29.7%. Interestingly, the same students taking the high school Physical Science exam achieved 65.4% proficiency, suggesting the curriculum may align better with high school standards than with the 8th grade Milestones test. Compared to nearby schools, Evans Middle outperforms Harlem Middle and Columbia Middle in math and Algebra I, though it trails top-tier county schools like Riverside Middle and Greenbrier Middle. The school also maintains a chronic absenteeism rate of 13.2%, well below the state's 17.7%, and achieves strong outcomes despite spending below the county average per student.
