This school boasts exceptional test scores, with 89-98% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, the other schools in the data set generally perform below the Cobb County and Georgia averages on the Milestones Assessments, with the exception of Pearson Middle School, which had 90.9% of students proficient or better in Algebra I. However, Pearson's overall state ranking is in the bottom half of Georgia middle schools.
The data also reveals significant socioeconomic challenges in the 30060 zip code area, with most schools having very high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 71.04% to 97.79%.
