Summary

Hahira Middle School in Hahira, GA, serves 843 students in grades 6 through 8 and is part of the highly-rated Lowndes County district, which ranks in the top 7% of Georgia districts.

Hahira Middle School is a standout performer, currently ranked 18th out of 578 Georgia middle schools—placing it in the top 3% statewide. This is a significant jump from last year's 35th place ranking, and the school has earned a 5-star rating for six consecutive years. The school's math program is particularly strong: 7th grade math proficiency is 75.2%, compared to 42% statewide, and 8th graders have achieved a perfect 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I End-of-Course exam for four straight years. Science and social studies scores are also well above state averages. When compared to nearby schools, the difference is striking—Pine Grove Middle School ranks 145th, and Valdosta Middle School ranks 367th, with Hahira outperforming them by 20 to 40 percentage points in key subjects.

What makes this success even more impressive is that Hahira achieves these results while serving a student body where 58% qualify for free/reduced lunch, and it does so with lower per-student spending ($11,687) than many neighboring schools. The school also excels at supporting all learners—special education students rank in the 95th percentile statewide, and every demographic subgroup performs at or above the 85th percentile. Chronic absenteeism is low at 11.5%, well below the state average of 17.7%. For families in the Hahira area, this school offers a combination of academic excellence, equity, and efficiency that is rare among Georgia middle schools.
