Summary

McIntosh County Middle School is a public middle school in Darien, Georgia, serving 271 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the McIntosh County School District, which is ranked 99 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has shown some strength in Algebra I performance, with proficiency rates ranging from 50% to 80% in recent years, it has consistently underperformed compared to the state average in most subject areas on the Georgia Milestones Assessment. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the state in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the years, from 235 out of 577 Georgia middle schools in 2022-2023 to 349 out of 584 in 2024-2025, indicating a concerning trend of declining academic performance.

When compared to nearby schools in the Glynn County School District, such as Risley Middle School, Glynn Middle, and Needwood Middle School, McIntosh County Middle School consistently underperforms on standardized test scores. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 79.34% to 81.55% in recent years, suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the lower academic performance.
