Summary

Carl Scoggins Senior Middle School is a public middle school located in Dallas, Georgia, serving 776 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Paulding County School District, which is ranked 91 out of 206 districts in the state.

One of the school's key strengths is its exceptional performance on Algebra I End-of-Course exams, consistently outperforming the Paulding County and Georgia averages with proficiency rates ranging from 66.7% to 95.3% over the past few years. However, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, suggesting a need to focus more on improving ELA instruction and support. Additionally, the school's performance in other subject areas like Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies has been inconsistent, sometimes falling below the district and state averages.

Compared to other middle schools in the Paulding County district, Carl Scoggins Senior Middle School generally performs on par or slightly better in Algebra I and ELA, but struggles more in other subject areas. However, the school's performance is still below that of some higher-performing middle schools in neighboring districts, such as Mason Creek Middle School in Douglas County and Bay Springs Middle School in Carroll County. The school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 47.37% to 54.51%, also suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address any potential academic or social-emotional challenges.
