Summary

Glenn Hills Middle School in Augusta, GA, serves 706 students in grades 6 through 8 within the Richmond County School District, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Glenn Hills Middle School faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom 2nd percentile of Georgia middle schools. Proficiency rates in core subjects are very low—for example, only 3.3% of 6th graders scored proficient in math, compared to 6.7% at nearby W.S. Hornsby Middle School and 6.8% at Pine Hill Middle School. The contrast with schools just a few miles away in Columbia County is stark: Stallings Island Middle School posts a 74.9% math proficiency rate, and Evans Middle School and Lakeside Middle School also rank in the top 30% statewide. Chronic absenteeism is a critical issue, with 43.1% of Glenn Hills students missing significant school time—well above the district average of 30.3% and more than double the state average of 17.7%. While this rate has improved from a peak of 49.7% two years ago, it remains a major barrier to learning.

Despite these challenges, there is a notable bright spot. On the 8th-grade High School Physical Science End of Course exam, 43.5% of Glenn Hills students scored proficient—nearly matching the district average and far exceeding the 0% proficiency at W.S. Hornsby and Murphey Middle School. This demonstrates that Glenn Hills students can achieve at high levels with the right support. Interestingly, the school spends $12,923 per student—more than the $10,221 spent at Grovetown Middle School in Columbia County, which has far higher test scores. This suggests the challenges are rooted in poverty and attendance issues rather than funding alone, and the physical science success offers a potential model for improving outcomes in other subjects.
