Summary

Byron Middle School in Byron, GA, serves 452 students in grades 6-8 within the Peach County district, earning a 3-star rating and ranking in the 54th percentile statewide for 2025-2026. The school stands out as a clear academic leader within its district, consistently outperforming Peach County averages by substantial margins across nearly every subject and grade level.

The most impressive strength is Algebra I performance: 75.9% of students scored proficient or above, dramatically exceeding both the district (29.3%) and state (48.1%) averages. This isn't a fluke—the school has posted proficiency rates between 65-76% for four straight years. Byron also earns high marks for African American students (72nd percentile statewide) and Special Education students (72nd percentile), suggesting effective support for diverse learners. Social studies proficiency (48%) also outpaces state averages. However, science remains a significant challenge, with only 12.9% of 8th graders proficient versus 29.7% statewide. Chronic absenteeism (24%) is also higher than the state rate (17.7%), though it has improved from 26.2% in 2021-2022.

Compared to nearby schools, Byron outperforms several Houston County schools like Northside Middle School and Warner Robins Middle School, despite serving a higher-poverty population (84.7% free/reduced lunch). Its same-district counterpart, Fort Valley Middle School, ranks in the 22nd percentile. With a favorable 12.6:1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $14,326, Byron offers smaller class sizes than many peers. While 6th and 7th grade math proficiency lags state averages, the school's focus on accelerating students into advanced coursework appears to pay off in the upper grades, making it a solid choice for families seeking strong academic outcomes in a supportive environment.
