Summary

Little Mill Middle School in Cumming, GA, serves 916 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the highly-ranked Forsyth County School District, which ranks in the 97th percentile statewide.

One of the most striking things about Little Mill is its exceptional Algebra I program. In the most recent testing year, 96.1% of students taking Algebra I scored proficient or above—far exceeding the district average of 71.6% and nearly doubling the state average of 48.1%. This has been a consistent strength for years. However, there is a stark contrast with grade-level math: only 48.3% of 6th graders, 46% of 7th graders, and 41.4% of 8th graders met proficiency standards, which is 25-30 percentage points below district averages. This suggests the school excels at accelerating its top math students while the broader student population may need more support. The school also shows genuine strengths in supporting students with disabilities, ranking in the 79th percentile statewide for special education outcomes.

Compared to nearby schools, Little Mill trails several peers. Lakeside Middle School (7.3 miles away) ranks 43rd statewide with a 5-star rating and posts math proficiency rates of 81%, 72.9%, and 82.3% across grades 6-8, while Otwell Middle School and North Forsyth Middle School also rank higher. Little Mill’s chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% is double the district average of 8.2%, though it has improved significantly from a pandemic-era high of 31%. The school’s statewide ranking has declined from 53rd in 2015-2016 to 261st today, but it has stabilized in recent years. With about 40% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, Little Mill serves a more economically diverse population than some district peers, and per-student spending has risen to $12,527.

The school facilities are clean and new with proper equipment, etc. The school staff are wonderful and accomodating. The teachers are great. The only thing we didn't like, is the hours. School starts too late and ends late. Close Quote
