Summary

Madison County Middle School in Comer, GA, serves 1,147 students in grades 6 through 8 and is part of the Madison County district, which holds a 4-star rating. The school currently ranks 243rd out of 578 Georgia middle schools (58th percentile) with a 3-star rating, a modest improvement from last year but a decline from its 4-star status in 2017-2018. Notably, the school has seen a significant increase in economic need, with the free/reduced lunch rate rising from 58% to nearly 85% over the past two years.

The school's standout strength is its advanced math pathway. An extraordinary 94.7% of students scored proficient or better on the Algebra I End of Course assessment—nearly double the state average of 48.1%—and this performance has been consistently excellent for three years. The school also excels in HS Physical Science (80% proficient vs. 60.9% state) and earns a 4-star rating for supporting special education students (72nd percentile statewide). However, standard grade-level math scores are more modest: 6th grade (44.8%) is above state, 7th grade (36.7%) is below, and 8th grade (45.3%) is near the state average. Science and social studies remain challenges, with 8th grade science proficiency (21.3%) well below the state average (29.7%).

Compared to nearby schools, Madison County sits in the middle of the pack. It outperforms Burney-Harris-Lyons Middle School, Clarke Middle School, Elbert County Middle School, Coile Middle School, and Hilsman Middle School, but trails Commerce Middle School (83rd percentile), which posts stronger scores in 8th grade math (75% vs. 45.3%) and science (39.1% vs. 21.3%) despite similar spending. The school has improved chronic absenteeism from 27.8% to 19.8%, though it remains slightly above the state average. With its exceptional advanced coursework and strong special education support, Madison County shows clear strengths—the challenge ahead is translating that success to all students and subjects.
