Summary

Hendricks Middle School in Cumming, GA, serves 1,376 students in grades 6-8 as part of the highly rated Forsyth County School District, which ranks 7th out of 201 districts statewide. The school has earned 4-5 star ratings over the past four years and currently sits in the 86th percentile of Georgia middle schools, with only 15.3% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

Hendricks's standout strength is mathematics. An extraordinary 98.1% of students scored proficient or better on the Algebra I End of Course test in 2025-2026—nearly double the state average of 48.1% and well above the district's 71.6%. This performance has been remarkably consistent over four years, and only Lakeside Middle School (100%) and Vickery Creek Middle School (100%) match it among nearby schools. Math proficiency across all grades is also strong, ranging from 71.6% in 6th grade to 80.0% in 7th grade—both significantly above state averages. The school also excels in supporting special education students, ranking in the top 13% statewide, and has cut chronic absenteeism dramatically from 20.0% in 2021-2022 to just 8.4% now, matching the district average and less than half the state rate.

However, there are areas of concern. Eighth-grade Social Studies proficiency (56.6%) trails the district average by 12.6 percentage points, a gap that has persisted for four years. The 8th grade Science score of 4% proficiency is so far below the state average (29.7%) that it almost certainly reflects a data reporting issue rather than actual student performance—especially since the school's high school Physical Science score (65%) exceeds district and state averages. Notably, Hendricks achieves these results while spending just $10,925 per student, less than North Forsyth Middle School ($13,386) and Otwell Middle School ($14,462). For families prioritizing math achievement and efficient school management, Hendricks remains an excellent choice, though the Social Studies gap and the anomalous Science score warrant attention.
