Summary

Midland Middle School in Midland, GA, serves 455 students in grades 6-8 within the Muscogee County school district, a school where 100% of students now qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has held a steady 1-star rating for several years, ranking in the 27th percentile statewide—a slight improvement from a few years ago, though it hasn't yet returned to its pre-2020 peak. On a positive note, the school spends a substantial $14,768 per student and maintains a favorable 13.8:1 student-teacher ratio, which is better than many nearby schools.

The most impressive highlight is the school's Algebra I performance. In the most recent testing year, 65.2% of students scored proficient or above—nearly double the district average (35.7%) and well above the state average (48.1%). This continues a strong multi-year trend, suggesting the school has an excellent accelerated math pathway for advanced learners. However, grade-level math tells a different story: 6th grade math proficiency (25.8%) beats the district average, but 7th and 8th grade math trail it. Social studies is another bright spot, with 8th graders (29.5% proficient) outperforming the district (25.4%) for the third straight year. Science remains a challenge, with only 14.2% of 8th graders proficient versus 29.7% statewide.

Chronic absenteeism is a significant concern, with 26.1% of students missing too much school—well above the district (19.5%) and state (17.7%) averages. This pattern has persisted for five years. When compared to nearby schools, Midland sits in the middle: Blackmon Road Middle School (54th percentile) and Aaron Cohn Middle School (66th percentile) rank higher, while Rothschild Leadership Academy and East Columbus Magnet Academy rank much lower. Notably, Richards Middle School—just 6 miles away—achieves far higher proficiency across all subjects with a much lower absenteeism rate (15.5%), even while spending less per student. This suggests that attendance and economic factors, not just resources, play a major role in outcomes. Midland has clear strengths to build on, but tackling absenteeism and boosting grade-level math and science will be key to future progress.

I'm leaving this review because I am very disturbed with some of the teaching practices at this school. My child has 6 teachers and only 2 of them actually teach. The students are told to do the work uploaded on their Chromebooks but they're not actually TAUGHT. That's not how school should be run. The children arent being set up for success. They need actual lessons! Lectures, if you will. They have advanced classes but some of the advanced teachers don't teach. They upload work and the kids are expected to just go for it. This is very disappointing. I want my child to have a quality education. The teachers really need to get back to TEACHING. The kids will not learn if all you do is say "watch this video and complete this worksheet." This will fail our children. Something needs to give with this. I don't know if COVID is the reason, or the teachers are just lazy and don't want to actually WORK. Our children are suffering! This is the next generation "being taught" or lack thereof! They really need to do better. Close Quote
