Crossroads Middle School

Public Grades 6-8

41^st

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 578 Georgia Middle Schools

Better than 93% of Georgia middle schools

Summary

Crossroads Middle School in Acworth, GA, serves 908 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Paulding County School District, earning a 5-star rating and ranking 41st out of 578 middle schools statewide—placing it in the 93rd percentile of Georgia middle schools.

What truly sets Crossroads apart is its remarkable consistency in mathematics. Proficiency rates hover around 64-67% across all three grade levels, dramatically outpacing district (42-45%) and state (41-46%) averages. Even more striking, 100% of students taking the Algebra I End of Course assessment achieved proficiency—a perfect score shared by only a handful of nearby schools like McClure Middle School and Lost Mountain Middle School. Science achievement is equally impressive, with 57.5% of 8th graders proficient versus just 29.7% statewide. The school also excels for specific student groups, ranking in the 94th-96th percentiles statewide for female, African American, and Hispanic students. Chronic absenteeism sits at just 11.4%, far better than the district (16.8%) and state (17.7%) averages, and lower than every other Paulding County middle school in the area.

Perhaps most impressive is the efficiency behind these results. Crossroads spends $11,614 per student—the lowest among nearby schools, with Awtrey Middle School spending 54% more and Barber Middle School spending 39% more—yet achieves outcomes that rival or exceed those schools. While Sammy McClure Senior Middle School (just 3.57 miles away) edges out Crossroads in social studies (78.8% vs. 58.2%), Crossroads actually surpasses it in 8th grade science and 6th grade math. Crossroads also outperforms the highly regarded Cobb County schools in 8th grade science, despite serving a student population with higher economic need. For parents seeking a school that delivers strong, equitable results without excessive spending, Crossroads stands out as a smart choice.
