Summary

Carver Road Middle School in Griffin, GA, serves 435 students in grades 6-8 within the Griffin-Spalding County district, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has shown meaningful momentum this year, improving its statewide ranking from 436th to 395th out of 578 Georgia middle schools and earning a 2-star rating—up from 1 star last year.

The school's standout strength is advanced mathematics. An impressive 76.9% of Algebra I students scored proficient or better, far exceeding the district average of 28.2% and the state average of 48.1%. This performance even rivals schools in wealthier neighboring districts like Whitewater Middle School (85.7%) and Hampton Middle School (81.3%). Eighth-grade math proficiency also shines at 53.5%, nearly double the district rate and above the state average. However, science remains a critical concern—only 7.8% of 8th graders are proficient, though this is a notable improvement from 2.3% last year and mirrors a district-wide challenge. Social studies proficiency sits at 21%.

Another bright spot is chronic absenteeism, which dropped dramatically from 29.1% to 18.2% in one year—now below the district average and better than every other middle school in the district, including Rehoboth Road Middle School (27.0%). The school also maintains a favorable 12.7:1 student-teacher ratio and spends about $14,255 per student. While overall performance still trails top-tier schools like Rising Starr Middle School in Fayette County—where math proficiency reaches 70-85%—Carver Road's Algebra I results prove its students can compete at high levels when given advanced coursework. With continued improvement across math, attendance, and science, this school is on an upward trajectory worth watching.

As a parent, there is no other school I would send my child to in this county. This school has the best teachers, the most supportive administration, and a family culture. Close Quote
