Summary

Rabun County Middle School in Tiger, GA, serves 341 students in grades 7-8 as part of the Rabun County district, which ranks in the top 15% of districts statewide. The school has historically earned a 4-star rating, though its most recent ranking dipped to 3 stars, placing it 184th out of 578 Georgia middle schools—a shift from its former top-20% status.

The school's standout strength is its advanced coursework. In Algebra I End of Course assessments, 81.3% of students scored proficient or above—far exceeding the state average of 48.1%—and in HS Physical Science for 8th graders, 93.6% scored proficient, a remarkable 32.7 points above the state average. The school also excels with special education students, ranking in the 78th percentile statewide. However, performance in standard grade-level subjects tells a different story: 7th grade math proficiency has dropped to 39.9% (below the state average of 42%), and social studies proficiency has fallen sharply to 36.7% (below the state average of 40.2%). Chronic absenteeism is also a concern at 22.8%, notably higher than the district (14.1%) and state (17.7%) averages.

Compared to nearby schools, results are mixed. North Habersham Middle School (14 miles away) outperforms Rabun County in nearly every metric, including 100% Algebra I proficiency and lower absenteeism. Towns County Middle School (19 miles away) also shows stronger results in 7th grade math (68.2% vs. 39.9%). Hilliard A. Wilbanks Middle School (19 miles away) ranks slightly below Rabun County but achieves 97.7% Algebra I proficiency. Notably, Rabun County spends $17,774 per student—more than North Habersham ($13,006) and Wilbanks ($13,511)—yet outcomes are generally lower, raising questions about resource allocation. The school also saw a dramatic increase in free/reduced lunch eligibility, from 58.8% to 89.7% in two years, reflecting significant community economic shifts.
