Summary

Edwards Middle School is a public middle school located in Conyers, Georgia, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 935 students. The school is part of the Rockdale County School District, which is ranked 164 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Edwards Middle School consistently outperforms the Rockdale County and Georgia averages in Algebra I End of Course exams, with proficiency rates around 80-90%, the school struggles in other subject areas, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies generally below the Rockdale County and Georgia averages. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13 to 13.6 students per teacher, which is lower than the nearby Conyers Middle School (15 students per teacher) and some other nearby schools. However, the school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 75.61% to 85.56% over the past few years, suggests a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the academic challenges the school faces.

While Edwards Middle School excels in Algebra I, it struggles to match the academic performance of nearby schools, such as General Ray Davis Middle School, which consistently outperforms Edwards Middle School across most subject areas and has a higher statewide ranking. Schools in neighboring districts, such as Austin Road Middle School and Woodland Middle School in Henry County, also tend to outperform Edwards Middle School in many subject areas. The school's consistently low statewide ranking and high poverty rates indicate the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

Worst school I’ve ever went to. Got bullied and made no friends. The teachers cafe more about the dress code then the well-being of their students and their grades. Would do homeschool then go to edwards ever again. Close Quote
