Summary:
Zip code 30013 is home to one middle school, Memorial Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 in Conyers, Georgia, within the Rockdale County school district.
Memorial Middle School is a school of striking contrasts. With 774 students and a 14.7:1 student-teacher ratio, it serves a predominantly low-income population, with 96.25% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. The school's most impressive achievement is in advanced coursework: its Algebra I End-of-Course proficiency rate of 81% in 2025-2026 towers over both the district (26.2%) and state (48.1%) averages, and its HS Physical Science proficiency (69.5%) also exceeds state benchmarks. However, this success does not extend to grade-level subjects. Proficiency in 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade math ranges from 22% to 26.5%, all well below state averages, and 8th-grade Social Studies proficiency sits at just 11.1%—less than a third of the state average. This suggests the school excels at accelerating its highest-achieving students while the majority of learners struggle with grade-level content.
Year-over-year trends show a mixed picture. The school made significant gains in 7th-grade math (from 15.1% to 26.3%, a +11.2 point jump) and Algebra I (+12.2 points), but suffered a sharp 14.6-point decline in Social Studies. Chronic absenteeism stands at 20%, better than the district's 28.6% but above the state's 17.7%. Per-student spending is a notable $14,031, yet the school's overall ranking slipped from the 36th to the 28th percentile, reflecting the weight of grade-level proficiency gaps. For parents, Memorial offers exceptional opportunities for advanced learners, but the wide divide between its top performers and the broader student body—particularly in Social Studies—remains a critical area needing attention.
