Summary

Arnall Middle School in Newnan, GA, serves 740 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Coweta County School District, holding a 3-star rating and ranking in the 53rd percentile statewide. The school has seen a gradual decline from its 4-star status in 2018-2019, when it ranked in the 79th percentile, settling into its current mid-pack position over the past several years.

One of Arnall's clearest strengths is its improving attendance record. The chronic absenteeism rate has dropped from 21.6% to 16.0% over two years—now better than both the district average (19.2%) and the state average (17.7%). This is especially notable when compared to nearby schools like East Coweta Middle School, which ranks higher academically but struggles with a 20.5% chronic absenteeism rate. Arnall also shows genuine strength in supporting students with special needs, with these students performing in the 67th percentile statewide—the school's strongest subgroup performance. English Language Learners also perform near the state median for their peer group.

Mathematics remains Arnall's most significant challenge, with proficiency rates in grades 6-8 trailing district averages by 13-14 percentage points. However, the school consistently outperforms the state average in 8th grade science, scoring 33.3% proficient versus the state's 29.7%. Notably, Arnall spends $13,045 per student—more than higher-performing nearby schools like Blake Bass Middle School ($11,627) and Madras Middle School ($12,418)—suggesting that additional resources alone may not be the answer. The school's favorable 13.7:1 student-teacher ratio and improving attendance point to a school with solid foundations, but one that may need to rethink instructional approaches in math to reverse its multi-year ranking decline.
