Summary

Montgomery County Middle School in Mount Vernon, GA, serves 203 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Montgomery County district, which holds a 2-star rating.

This school stands out for its exceptional attendance culture. With a chronic absenteeism rate of just 10.1%, it beats the state average (17.7%) by a wide margin and outperforms nearby Toombs County Middle School (27.1%) and J. R. Trippe Middle School (17.9%). This strong attendance record has held steady for five years, providing a solid foundation for learning. Academically, the school shines in 8th-grade Science and Social Studies, consistently beating state averages and nearby schools. For example, 45.1% of 8th graders are proficient in Social Studies, compared to 40.2% statewide and just 22.9% at Toombs County. The school also shows a notable "turnaround" effect in math—while 6th and 7th grade math scores trail the state, 8th graders close much of that gap, reaching 32.8% proficiency, which beats Toombs County (23.3%) and J.R. Trippe (24.4%).

However, the school has seen a steady decline since its peak in 2022-2023, when it ranked in the 71st percentile; it now sits at the 42nd percentile. Per-student spending has risen to $15,791, and class sizes are small (10.8 students per teacher), yet these investments haven't yet reversed the downward trend. There are also notable gaps in outcomes: female students rank in the 53rd percentile while male students rank in the 30th, and there are similar disparities among student groups. The school serves a high-need population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. While the recent decline is worth watching, the school's strong attendance, small classes, and proven success in 8th-grade science and social studies suggest it has the building blocks to improve across all subjects.
