Summary

Holcomb Bridge Middle School in Alpharetta, GA, serves approximately 598 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Fulton County School District, where 62% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch—a much higher rate than nearby schools like Webb Bridge Middle School (7.9%) or Autrey Mill Middle School (14.9%).

This school is a standout for advanced coursework. In 2025-2026, 87.9% of students taking Algebra I scored proficient or better, compared to 60.6% district-wide and 48.1% statewide. Similarly, 95% of students in High School Physical Science scored proficient, far exceeding the state average of 60.9%. The school also earns high marks for specific groups: White students rank in the 82nd percentile statewide, and special education students rank in the 74th percentile—a particularly strong result. Chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically, from 23% in 2022-2023 to just 6.7% in 2024-2025, far better than the district (18.7%) and state (19.5%). The school spends about $20,236 per student, more than most neighbors, and maintains a favorable 10.8:1 student-teacher ratio.

There are areas for growth, though. Grade-level assessments in 8th grade math (35.6% proficient), science (27.6%), and social studies (41.3%) trail district averages. However, the school is improving quickly—8th grade science jumped from 14.9% to 27.6% in one year, and social studies rose from 25.8% to 41.3%. Overall, Holcomb Bridge has climbed from the 45th percentile statewide in 2022-2023 to the 61st percentile in 2025-2026. While it doesn't match the elite scores of Taylor Road Middle School or Webb Bridge, it outperforms Sandy Springs Middle School in nearly every category and offers exceptional advanced academic opportunities for a diverse student body.

My daughter is having an exceptional educational experience. She is also enjoying chorus and the school plays. She is in advanced classes so I cannot speak for the lower classes. Close Quote

Really don't want to rate this school too bad as this school in my house district, but be honestly, this school is far to be good. From the principle to the front desk, they are just not very helpful. Most 6th grade teachers are good... But if you want a politic correct school, and enjoy more as average other than outstanding, not too much academy pressure, not too much after school activity, then this school might be good place to be.. it could be a very good playground for kids to enjoy.

I have had two children attend school here, one currently, one now in 9th grade. Very involved and caring teachers and staff - very willing to meet with parents, come up with innovative and unique ways to help your student learn. My child is a bit of a ...open personality... and they have been very accommodating but not coddling to this disposition. I came from Dunwoody schools and have been more than pleased with the transition to Alpharetta. Much improved experience, and I have one child in college graduating from Dunwoody High school as well.

You would do yourself and your child a great service by avoiding this school at any and all costs. This school is run more like a high security prison than it is a middle school. My child has been attending this school for three (3) months and we are already seeking education alternatives. The staff is not very supportive and the school is a dump, considering the area that it is in. Close Quote
