Summary

Eagle's Landing Middle School in McDonough, GA, serves 974 students in grades 6–8 as part of the Henry County School District, and it currently ranks in the bottom tier of Georgia middle schools at the 14th percentile statewide.

The school presents a striking "two schools" profile. On one hand, its Algebra I End-of-Course performance is a genuine standout: 57.7% of students scored proficient or above in 2025-2026, well above the state average of 48.1% and dramatically above the district's 35.1%. This strength has been consistent for several years, suggesting a strong accelerated math pathway. However, grade-level math proficiency tells a very different story—only 13% of 6th graders, 20% of 7th graders, and 22.2% of 8th graders scored proficient, roughly half the state average at each grade. Science is also a major concern, with just 7.3% of 8th graders proficient, compared to 29.7% statewide. The school's advanced science pathway (High School Physical Science) performs better at 45.9% proficiency, though still below district and state averages. This gap between advanced and grade-level programs is the widest among nearby schools.

There are some encouraging signs. Chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 25.1% in 2022-2023 to 15.9%—now better than both the district (19.6%) and state (17.7%) averages. Per-student spending has risen to $12,835, and the student-teacher ratio has improved to 16.2:1. Compared to nearby schools, Eagle's Landing ranks similarly to Stockbridge Middle School (10th percentile) and Luella Middle School (11th percentile), but far behind Union Grove Middle (74th percentile), which posts 93.4% Algebra I proficiency and 41.1% science proficiency. The school's statewide ranking has declined in six of the past eight years, falling from the 35th percentile in 2015-2016. While attendance and resources have improved, the school still faces significant challenges in lifting grade-level achievement across most subjects.

This school needs to be shut down! I have waited 3 hours for a meeting and the teacher never showed up!!!! They took over 2 weeks to verify residency! They do not care. They DO NOT get in a hurry about NOTHING!!!!! Just plain horrible. Avoid this school if possible. I would not recommend my dog to go there!!!! Close Quote

My daughter attends Eagles Landing Middle School and except for her 6th grade year, I am very pleased with the school. She has performed in the top 5 of her class every year and currently has high school credits. Close Quote

This School is Horrible..The students run the school,not the staff..They brought in a 3rd principal this year. The Students are totally out of control..If they are not fighting, they are threatening each other, and the bullying is herendous. Just yesterday a student punched a bus window out for getting mad..It is ridiculous and out of hand. Close Quote

This school has an excellent staff. Good students, and amazing teachers. The children here may get a little wild sometimes but when it comes to school work they get it done. Close Quote

The computer generated ratings of ELMS do not give a complete picture of this school. It won't tell you that the staff and administrators are caring towards the students and warm towards the parents, yet they are firm with discipline and respond professionally, respectively. It won't tell you that there is a thriving “gifted student” population who are offered high school courses within ELMS for credit. It won't tell you that there are some wonderful teachers, involved parents, a welcoming/listening principal (Mr. Thomas) and overall good kids! Coming from home-school, we first attempted to send our son to Infinite Campus--but were disappointed b/c he wasn't being challenged enough. We decided to enroll him at ELMS. We are happy with our decision. Close Quote
