Summary

Aaron Cohn Middle School in Midland, GA, serves 525 students in grades 6-8 within the Muscogee County school district, and currently holds a 3-star rating, ranking 194th out of 578 Georgia middle schools (66th percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year.

The school's standout strength is mathematics. In 8th grade, 62.6% of students scored proficient or above in math—well above the district's 28.4% and the state's 46.3%. Seventh grade math is similarly strong at 54.4% proficiency, more than double the district rate. Most remarkable is the Algebra I End of Course exam: 100% of Aaron Cohn students scored proficient or above, compared to just 35.7% district-wide and 48.1% statewide. This perfect proficiency rate has been sustained for multiple years (91.4% in 2024-2025, 90% in 2023-2024), showing a consistent pattern of excellence in advanced math placement. The school also excels in high school-level Physical Science, with 86.4% of 8th graders proficient, far exceeding state averages. Chronic absenteeism is notably low at 11.4%—nearly half the district rate of 19.5%—and has improved dramatically from 18.8% the previous year.

Compared to nearby schools, Aaron Cohn is a clear standout. Midland Middle School, just 2.49 miles away, ranks 424th (27th percentile) with chronic absenteeism more than double Aaron Cohn's rate. Blackmon Road Middle School, 4.16 miles away, ranks 263rd. Its closest competitive peer, Richards Middle School, ranks slightly higher overall (148th) but Aaron Cohn actually surpasses it in 8th grade math (62.6% vs. 52.2%) and matches its perfect Algebra I score. The school also operates efficiently, spending $12,239 per student—less than several lower-performing district schools. While the recent ranking dip from 4 stars to 3 stars warrants monitoring, the school's strong math program, low absenteeism, and efficient operations position it well for a rebound.
