Summary:

Zip code 30165 in Rome, Georgia, is home to one middle school, Coosa Middle School, which serves grades 5 through 7 and is part of the Floyd County school district.

Coosa Middle School is a standout performer in mathematics, with 6th and 7th grade proficiency rates (61.1% and 65.3%) that exceed both the district and state averages by significant margins. The school also excels in 5th grade science, where 53.4% of students are proficient, outpacing the district (48.9%) and state (44.2%). Perhaps most impressive is the school's chronic absenteeism rate of just 7.5%, which is dramatically lower than the state average of 17.7% and even below the district's 9.0%. This is particularly notable given that 76.91% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a demographic often associated with higher absenteeism. The school has also shown consistent improvement in its state ranking, climbing from the 57th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 71st percentile in 2024-2025, earning a 4-star rating.

While math and science are clear strengths, English Language Arts (ELA) presents a challenge based on the most recent available data from 2024-2025. Seventh grade ELA proficiency was just 28.8%, well below the district (43.6%) and state (40.7%) averages, and 5th grade ELA (37.2%) also lagged behind benchmarks. Only 6th grade ELA (47.8%) exceeded both district and state averages. Note that current-year ELA scores are not yet available and will be released in December. The school is well-resourced with a student-teacher ratio of 11.6:1 and per-student spending of $16,322, which likely contributes to its strong performance. One interesting pattern is that 5th grade math (50.7%) trails the district average (59.1%), but students appear to "catch up" significantly by 6th and 7th grade, suggesting the school's math instruction becomes more effective in upper grades. Overall, Coosa Middle School is a school on an upward trajectory, achieving strong outcomes in math and science while maintaining excellent attendance, with ELA as the primary area for future focus.
