Summary

Edwards Middle School in Conyers, GA, serves 934 students in grades 6–8 as part of the Rockdale County school district, and it currently holds a 2-star rating with a statewide ranking in the 33rd percentile.

The most remarkable thing about Edwards is its advanced coursework. In 2025–2026, 82.7% of students taking Algebra I scored proficient or above—far exceeding the state average of 48.1% and more than tripling the district average of 26.2%. This isn't a fluke; the school has posted proficiency rates above 80% for three straight years. Students in High School Physical Science also shine, with 81.6% proficient versus 60.9% statewide. In fact, Edwards outperforms several nearby schools in Algebra I, including Conyers Middle (74.2%) and Clements Middle (42.3%), while trailing top performers like Austin Road Middle (97.2%) and Veterans Memorial Middle (96.3%).

However, the picture is more complex for grade-level subjects. While 37.7% of 8th graders are proficient in math—above the district (32.7%) and close to the state (46.3%)—6th and 7th grade math proficiency lags at 21.5% and 25.1%, respectively. The school also shows notable strengths with its African American students, ranking in the 64th percentile statewide for that group, while Hispanic and Special Education students rank in the bottom fifth. Chronic absenteeism (26.8%) is below the district average but above the state's 17.7%. With 89% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Edwards faces real challenges, yet its advanced programs demonstrate what's possible when students are accelerated—the key question is how to extend that success to all learners.

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
