Summary:
Middle Schools in zip code 30150 consist of just one school, Mt. Zion Middle School, which serves grades 6–8 in Carrollton, GA, and operates within the Carroll County school district.
Mt. Zion Middle School stands out for its exceptional Algebra I performance: 76.9% of tested students scored proficient in 2025–2026, far surpassing the district (42%) and state (48.1%). However, this strength contrasts sharply with other subjects. Eighth-grade science proficiency is only 11.3%, and HS Physical Science proficiency sits at 31%, both well below district and state averages. Grade-level math is also mixed, with 8th-grade math at 37.7% versus 48.3% district and 46.3% state. English Language Arts proficiency is consistently low across all grades, hovering in the low 30s. The school's state ranking has improved from 351st in 2023–2024 to 281st in 2025–2026, yet chronic absenteeism is a concern at 20.6%, higher than both the district (15.3%) and state (17.7%). The school enrolls 404 students, with 47.52% qualifying for free/reduced lunch and a student-to-teacher ratio of 15.3:1.
For parents, Mt. Zion Middle School offers a clear picture of contrasts. The Algebra I program appears to successfully accelerate advanced learners, but the majority of students struggle in core subjects, particularly science and reading. Social studies was a relative bright spot in 2024–2025, exceeding district and state averages, but dropped the next year. With a moderate poverty rate and reasonable class sizes, the school has resources to build on, yet targeted interventions for 8th-grade science and chronic absenteeism will be key to improving outcomes. Overall, Mt. Zion is a school on an upward trajectory in rankings, but its academic performance remains uneven across subject areas.
