Summary

Oglethorpe County Middle School in Crawford, GA, serves 523 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Oglethorpe County district, which holds a 3-star rating statewide.

This school’s standout strength is its advanced math program. In both recent school years, 100% of students taking Algebra I scored proficient or above—matching Oconee County Middle School and far exceeding the state average of 48%. Eighth-grade math is also a bright spot, with 50.5% proficiency, beating most nearby schools like Elbert County Middle School (28.4%) and Clarke Middle School (39.7%). Science scores are competitive too, nearly matching the state average and outperforming several regional peers. However, the school’s biggest academic gap is 8th-grade social studies, where only 20% of students are proficient—exactly half the state average. While 6th-grade math (55.4%) is solid, 7th-grade math (40.6%) dips slightly below the state average, suggesting the school excels at accelerating its top math students but has more uneven results across the broader student body.

On the positive side, chronic absenteeism is a real improvement story: at 16.5%, it’s below both the state (17.7%) and district (17.3%) averages, and a big improvement from 25.5% a few years ago. The school also maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.7, lower than Oconee County Middle School (16.2) and Madison County Middle School (14.9). That said, the school faces significant socioeconomic headwinds—84.5% of students now qualify for free/reduced lunch, up sharply from 58.8% just two years ago. Despite this, the school has held its own in math and science. For families, this is a mid-tier school with an exceptional advanced math track and improving attendance, though social studies and consistent support across all grade levels remain areas to watch.
