Summary

C. W. Davis Middle School in Flowery Branch, GA, serves 748 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Hall County School District, and currently holds a 2-star rating, ranking in the 47th percentile statewide.

One of the most striking findings is the school's exceptional performance in Algebra I. In 2025-2026, 90% of tested students scored proficient or better—nearly double the district average of 38.7% and far exceeding the state average of 48.1%. This is a consistent strength, with proficiency rates above 83% for the past three years. However, this success appears concentrated in the accelerated track. While 6th and 7th grade math proficiency slightly exceeds state averages, 8th grade math proficiency (38.1%) falls well below both the district (46.5%) and state (46.3%) averages. The school also faces significant challenges in 8th grade science (10.5% proficiency vs. 29.7% statewide) and social studies (20.8% vs. 40.2% statewide).

Compared to nearby Cherokee Bluff Middle, just 3 miles away, the gap is stark—Cherokee Bluff ranks in the 79th percentile with 4 stars and posts significantly higher math scores across all grade levels. Notably, C. W. Davis actually spends more per student ($13,565 vs. $12,761) and has a lower student-teacher ratio (13.6 vs. 15.3), suggesting resources alone don't explain the difference. The school has shown meaningful improvement in chronic absenteeism, dropping from 28.2% to 17.2%—now below both district and state averages. Subgroup data reveals areas for attention, particularly for English Language Learners (11th percentile statewide) and Hispanic students (23rd percentile), while special education services rank relatively strong (56th percentile). With a rising free/reduced lunch rate (53% in 2024-2025, up from 44% two years prior), the school is navigating significant demographic shifts while working to rebuild its former standing as a top-tier middle school.
