Summary

Northside Middle School in Warner Robins, GA, serves 859 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Houston County school district, and has earned a 2-star rating with a ranking that has climbed steadily over the past three years.

One of the most impressive things about Northside is how well its advanced students perform. In Algebra I, 87.9% of students scored proficient or better—nearly double the state average of 48.1%—and this strong performance has been consistent for several years. Similarly, in 8th grade Physical Science, 97% of students met or exceeded expectations, far outpacing the state average of 60.9%. The school also shines with its English Language Learner students, ranking in the 75th percentile statewide—a 4-star rating that is the school's highest subgroup achievement. However, there is a clear contrast: while advanced math students excel, students in standard grade-level math classes struggle significantly. Only 21.7% of 6th graders, 28% of 7th graders, and 34.9% of 8th graders scored proficient in math, compared to district averages of roughly 49-55%. This creates a "two stories" situation—elite performance for some, but real challenges for the majority.

Chronic absenteeism is a persistent concern, with 23.2% of students missing too much school—well above the district (15.6%) and state (17.7%) averages, though it has improved slightly from last year. When compared to nearby schools, Northside sits below Warner Robins Middle School (just 2.6 miles away), which outperforms Northside in every standard math assessment despite serving a similarly high-poverty population. Northside also trails top district performers like Bonaire Middle and Mossy Creek Middle, though it does outperform Huntington Middle overall. The school spends more per student ($14,011) and has smaller class sizes than several higher-performing peers, suggesting that resources aren't the main issue. Northside is clearly improving—climbing from the 27th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 43rd percentile now—and its advanced coursework and ELL programs are genuine strengths to build on.

Have not been happy with this school. We have had problems with our last 2 and am now concerned for our youngest to go there in the fall. Too many fights, BULLYING, and teachers who don't care. :( Close Quote
