Summary

Carver Road Middle School is a public middle school in Griffin, Georgia, serving 467 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Griffin-Spalding County School District, which is ranked 174 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite facing challenges, Carver Road Middle School has some bright spots. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in several Milestones Assessment subjects, such as having 70.8% of students proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to 26.5% for the district and 44.9% for the state. However, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 85.01% to 98.51% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While Carver Road Middle School's performance is better than the district and state averages, it still lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Rehoboth Road Middle School. Additionally, the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Georgia middle schools, suggesting that it has struggled to improve its overall performance. The high per-student spending at Carver Road Middle School, around $9,000-$9,400 in recent years, also highlights that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving academic outcomes.
