Summary

Smokey Road Middle School is a public middle school in Newnan, Georgia, serving 550 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Coweta County School District, which is ranked 39 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Academically, Smokey Road Middle School has consistently underperformed compared to the Coweta County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessment. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 14.1% to 43.3%, while the county and state averages were 46.2% to 46.6% and 39.8% to 41.3%, respectively. Similarly, in Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 21.5% to 42.6%, compared to 45% to 49.1% for the county and 37.3% to 47% for the state. The school has also maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other middle schools in Georgia.

Interestingly, when comparing Smokey Road Middle School to nearby schools in the Coweta County district, such as Blake Bass Middle School and Madras Middle School, it is clear that Smokey Road is underperforming academically. Additionally, the school has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.66% to 72.18% in recent years, which may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance. Despite the higher per-student spending at Smokey Road Middle School, this does not appear to have translated into improved outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be at play.
