Summary

Pulaski County Middle School in Hawkinsville, GA, serves 288 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Pulaski County district, and it currently holds a 1-star rating with a statewide ranking in the bottom quarter of Georgia middle schools.

The most pressing challenge at Pulaski County Middle is chronic absenteeism. At 28.4%, the school's rate is far above the state average of 17.7% and more than double that of nearby Dodge County Middle School (12.2%) and Bleckley Middle School (13.7%). This attendance gap likely plays a major role in academic struggles. In the latest testing cycle, proficiency rates trail state averages in every subject—for example, only 22.2% of 8th graders are proficient in math versus 46.3% statewide, and 8th grade science sits at just 14.4% compared to 29.7% statewide. The school has also seen a steady decline from a 3-star rating in 2020-2021 to its current 1-star status. On a positive note, 8th grade social studies proficiency nearly doubled from 14.0% to 27.7% in one year, showing that improvement is possible.

Compared to regional peers, the picture is mixed. Perry Middle School and Bonaire Middle School in Houston County achieve proficiency rates two to three times higher, while Dooly County Middle School spends far more per student ($22,006) yet still ranks in the bottom fifth. However, Dodge County Middle—serving a similar student population with comparable spending—outperforms Pulaski in math and science, suggesting that attendance and instructional strategies, not just resources, are key. With a favorable 13.8:1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending on par with higher-performing schools, Pulaski County Middle has the foundation to improve if it can tackle absenteeism and focus on targeted academic support.
