This school stands out for its exceptional performance in 8th-grade Science, where 30.8% of students scored proficient in the most recent school year—slightly above the state average of 29.7% and dramatically higher than nearby Oak Hill Middle School (7.3%) and Twiggs Middle School (16.7%). This science strength has been consistent for three straight years. Another major highlight is the school's remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 4.9%, compared to the state average of 17.7% and far better than Oak Hill (15.1%) and Twiggs (25.6%). This represents a dramatic improvement from 28.2% just a few years ago, suggesting a strong, positive school climate where students show up ready to learn.

Math scores have improved substantially across all grade levels over the past two years, with 6th-grade math jumping from 4.4% to 15.1% and 8th-grade math rising from 9.8% to 28.8%. The school also outperforms its immediate neighbors in core subjects, including 8th-grade math (28.8% vs. Oak Hill's 17.4% and Twiggs' 12.5%). With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.9 to 1 and high per-student spending of $17,668, the school is investing heavily in its students. While there is still work to close the gap with the rest of the state, Wilkinson County Middle School shows clear strengths in science, attendance, and a positive upward trend in math.

Open Quote I go to this school and it spends too much money on unnecessary items. All of the money at this school goes into football and basketball,whereas the track team cannot have home track meets because the track is in critical condition... The band has to support itself and is disowned by the school. The school is super old and needs LOTS of repairs. There is no hot water or soap in the bathrooms and when it rains the ceilings sometimes leak. There are big brown spots in some areas of the ceiling. This school needs lots of help, in my opinion. I also would like to speak against the separation of boys and girls, because we are separated boys take science one semester and girls take social studies on semester(visa versa).Due to the fact that I did not take social studies the whole school year I did not know much of the information on that portion of the CRCT test. With all due respect, Wilkinson County Middle/High School deserves a poor rating. Close Quote
