Summary

Social Circle Middle School is a public middle school in Social Circle, Georgia, serving 448 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Social Circle City District, which is ranked 81 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Social Circle Middle School consistently outperforms the district and state averages on the Milestones Assessment, with particularly strong results in Algebra I and English Language Arts. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 59.6% of students were proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to 30.8% for the district and 44.9% for the state. The school's English Language Arts proficiency rates ranged from 40% to 55.2% across grades 6-8, significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, the school's performance in Mathematics has been more mixed, with proficiency rates lower than the state but still higher than the district.

While Walton County schools like Loganville Middle School and Youth Middle School have significantly higher proficiency rates across various subjects, Social Circle Middle School generally outperforms nearby schools in the Rockdale County and Newton County districts. However, the school's ranking and rating have fluctuated over the years, and the increasing percentage of economically disadvantaged students may present challenges for the school's resources and academic support.

Thursday, March 5, 2020

Discipline is out of control. Teachers are unhappy and there is a high turnover rate. Teacher salaries are not comparable to that of surrounding areas. Students have zero respect for teachers or other students. The administration wants to do nothing but cover it up and brush things under the rug. We are losing good kids and teachers to other districts. Close Quote
