This school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic metrics, maintaining a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking in the top half of Georgia middle schools.

Peachtree Middle School's academic performance is particularly noteworthy, with 97% of students proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to 32.2% for DeKalb County and 44.9% for the state. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.5 to 15.9 over the past few years, and a moderate percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, between 44.8% and 54.55%. This suggests that Peachtree Middle School may be serving a diverse student population while still achieving high levels of academic success.

We had a horrible experience at this school. For clarity, the teachers are wonderful, BUT those children are spawns of satan. I thought my child was going to need therapy after attending this school. Bullying and racial slurs are the norm there. The principal recently quit mid school year...speaks volumes! Close Quote
