Summary

Worth County Middle School is a public middle school located in Sylvester, Georgia, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 639 students. The school is part of the Worth County School District, which is ranked 122 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Worth County Middle School consistently underperforms the state average in Milestones Assessment test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 24% to 55.1%, while the state averages ranged from 28.8% to 47%. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 75.27% to 100% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Additionally, Worth County Middle School has relatively low spending per student, ranging from $8,238 to $9,126 over the past few years, which is lower than the state average, and a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.5 to 15.8 over the past few years, which is higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Eighth Street Middle School in Tifton, GA, which is part of the Tift County School District, Worth County Middle School generally performs worse on Milestones Assessment test scores, with lower proficiency rates across most subject areas. These findings suggest that the school and district may need to explore strategies to improve instructional quality, provide additional support for economically disadvantaged students, and ensure adequate funding and resources are available to meet the needs of the school community.
