Summary

Rome Middle School is a public middle school in Rome, Georgia, serving 956 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Rome City School District, which is ranked 134 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio ranging from 12.4 to 13.4, Rome Middle School consistently performs below the state and district averages on the Milestones Assessment across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies were significantly lower than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 54.97% in 2022-2023 to 84.94% in 2023-2024, which is much higher than the state and district averages.

When comparing Rome Middle School to nearby schools, such as Calhoun Middle School and Woodland Middle School at Euharlee, it becomes evident that Rome Middle School is underperforming. These nearby schools have significantly higher test scores and better overall performance metrics. The combination of low test scores, high poverty concentration, and lower spending per student suggests that Rome Middle School may be facing significant resource and funding challenges that are hindering its ability to provide a high-quality education to its students.
