Summary:
Schools in zip code 30150 include just one school, Mt. Zion Middle School, which serves grades 6 through 8 and enrolls 404 students in the Carroll County School District, a district ranked 63rd out of 201 in Georgia with a 3-star rating.
Because Mt. Zion Middle School is the only school in this zip code, all results reflect this single school. The most impressive highlight is Algebra I: 76.9% of students scored proficient or above in 2025–2026, far exceeding the district (42.0%) and state (48.1%). However, science is a major weakness — only 11.3% of 8th graders were proficient, compared to 33.6% in the district and 29.7% statewide. Eighth-grade physical science is also very low at 31.0% versus 69.3% for the district. English language arts is consistently below district and state averages in all three grades, with proficiency around 31–33% compared to district rates near 39–42%. Math proficiency declines as students progress: 6th grade math is 47.2% (above the state), 7th grade is 46.6% (above state), but 8th grade drops to 37.7% (below the state average of 46.3%). Chronic absenteeism is elevated at 20.6%, above the district (15.3%) and state (17.7%). Nearly half of students (47.52%) qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is 15.3:1 with per-student spending of $13,536.
There is positive momentum: the school’s state rank improved from 351st in 2023–2024 to 281st in 2025–2026, and its star rating rose from 2 to 3 stars. This improvement comes even with mixed subject results. For parents, the key takeaway is that advanced math students are thriving, but the school needs targeted support in 8th-grade science, physical science, and English language arts. Addressing chronic absenteeism and the downward math trend from 6th to 8th grade could help close the gaps with district and state averages. Overall, Mt. Zion Middle School is a school with clear strengths in Algebra I and gradual improvement, but with significant academic challenges in several core subjects.
