Summary

Midland Academy is an elementary school in Midland, GA, serving 622 students in grades PK–5 within the Muscogee County school district, where nearly 9 in 10 students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Midland Academy stands out for its remarkable attendance record. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 9.2% is less than half the district rate (19.5%) and well below the state average (17.7%)—a pattern the school has maintained for five straight years. This is especially impressive given its high poverty rate, as schools with similar demographics typically struggle with attendance. The school also consistently outperforms district averages in math and science. In 4th grade math, 56.5% of students are proficient, beating the district by 20 points and the state by 6 points. Overall, the school ranks in the 48th percentile statewide, a strong recovery from its pandemic-era slump. It achieves these results while spending less per student ($13,015) than nearby schools serving similar populations, such as Forrest Road Elementary ($17,834) and Gentian Elementary ($17,419).

There are areas to watch. Fifth grade math and science proficiency (38% each) trail state averages, suggesting a transition challenge in upper elementary. Special Education students rank at the 21st percentile statewide, and White students at the 27th percentile, indicating these groups may need extra support. However, the school’s African American students perform at the 53rd percentile—stronger than the school’s overall ranking. Nearby comparisons are instructive: Mathews Elementary, just 1.4 miles away, serves a far more affluent population (20% free/reduced lunch) and ranks in the 60th percentile, while Waddell Elementary, with 100% poverty, ranks in the 18th percentile. Midland Academy sits between these extremes demographically yet outperforms what its poverty level would predict. Note: current-year English Language Arts scores will be released in December, but prior-year data showed strong gains, especially in 5th grade ELA, which jumped from 20.4% to 47.9% proficiency over two years.

Terrible administration problems. The principal has no idea what’s going on with the kids. Out of control bullying problem. The teachers are great, but it doesn’t matter because your child can’t get an education due to constant class disturbances, bullying, kids cussing out their teachers, and kids getting caught with pot in the bathroom. My child was bullied all year and the upper administration did absolutely nothing about it. Close Quote
