Summary

Long County Middle School is a public middle school in Ludowici, Georgia, serving 988 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Long County School District, which is ranked 104 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Long County Middle School consistently performs below the state average in most subject areas on the Milestones Assessment, it stands out for its strong performance in Algebra I, with a proficiency rate of 81.3% compared to the state average of 44.9%. However, the school faces challenges, including a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.42% to 75.1%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's spending per student, ranging from $7,055 to $7,577, is lower than that of some nearby schools, and it has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 17.5 to 18.6.

Compared to nearby schools, such as South Tattnall Middle School, Midway Middle School, and Arthur Williams Middle School, Long County Middle School generally performs worse on the Milestones Assessments, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. These nearby schools also have lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and lower student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their better academic performance. However, Long County Middle School's strong performance in Algebra I is a notable bright spot, and the school may need to focus on addressing the factors that contribute to the lower performance in other subject areas and explore strategies to support its economically disadvantaged student population.

The student to teacher ratio is horrible! The Vice Principal is a Coach! I don't know how they are a credited school in the state of Georgia! They should be reviewed by someone not affiliated with Long County! Close Quote
