Summary

Fannin County Middle School in Blue Ridge, GA, serves 638 students in grades 6 through 8 and is part of the Fannin County district, which ranks in the 55th percentile statewide.

This school has a standout strength: its Algebra I program. In the most recent testing year, 96.4% of students scored proficient or better on the Algebra I End-of-Course exam—nearly double the district average (57.4%) and more than double the state average (48.1%). This is not a fluke; the school has consistently posted scores above 85% for four straight years. However, this success does not extend to standard grade-level math. In 6th and 7th grades, proficiency rates (30.3% and 36.5%) fall below state averages (40.7% and 42%). The school also struggles in other core subjects. For example, only 15.5% of 8th graders are proficient in science, compared to 48.6% at Clear Creek Middle School and 27.6% at Union County Middle School. Overall, Fannin County Middle School holds a 2-star rating and ranks in the 40th percentile of Georgia middle schools, a drop from last year’s 3-star rating and 60th percentile ranking.

It’s important to understand the context behind these numbers. The school has seen a dramatic increase in economic disadvantage, with 90.6% of students now eligible for free or reduced lunch, up from 52.99% just two years ago. This shift likely plays a role in the school’s changing performance. On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has fallen sharply from 36.6% in 2021-2022 to 17.4% now—below both the district (20.9%) and state (17.7%) averages. While Fannin County Middle School trails its regional peers in most subjects, its strong Algebra I results and improved attendance show areas of real progress. The school’s ability to extend its advanced math success to the broader curriculum will be key to reversing its recent decline.

This school does not care for my sons education. They constantly put him in iss and cause him to miss class which lowers his grades. They can’t wait to send him to alternative school for minor offenses and I don’t feel this school cares about my sons education. This school needs teachers that are trained in dealing with children with add or adhd. This school is not and are letting my sons education down everyday. I can’t afford these expensive schools and my son is not being treated fairly and there also forgetting he is left handed. This school has caused me as a parent nothing but worry and emotional stress because there constantly negative about my son. Close Quote

The administration was non existent. Students run this school and so do the parents. There are zero consequences for students. Students made sure a teacher was removed from their position and told me i was "next". Rural white racist town with those poor uneducated views. Blue Ridge is a small town that does not welcome "outsiders" or anyone from the "awful" city of Atlanta. The most awful experience teaching here and zero diversity all white with the exact same views. Close Quote
