Summary:
Zip code 30222 is home to just one middle school, Greenville Middle School, which serves grades 6 through 8 in the rural Greenville, GA area with a small enrollment of 174 students.
Greenville Middle School stands out as a school that is beating expectations given its challenging circumstances. Nearly 99% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch, yet the school has made remarkable progress in its state ranking, jumping from the 19th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 48th percentile in 2025-2026—a gain of 176 positions in just two years. The school also boasts an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 7.0%, far better than the district's 18.8% and the state's 17.7%. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 9.1:1 and per-student spending of $20,486, the school provides a supportive environment that appears to be paying off academically.
Academically, the school's biggest strength is 7th-grade mathematics, where 54.9% of students are proficient—outperforming both the district (34.6%) and the state (42.0%), and representing a remarkable 14.3-point improvement over the previous year. In every subject and grade tested, Greenville Middle School outperforms its Meriwether County district average, though it still trails state averages in most areas. The most concerning subject is 8th-grade Social Studies, where proficiency dropped sharply from 27.5% to 13.5% year-over-year, leaving a nearly 27-point gap versus the state. Given the small cohort of roughly 58 students per grade, year-to-year swings can be significant, so parents should interpret single-year changes with caution. While current ELA data is pending release in December, last year's results showed the school above district averages but below state averages in all three grade levels.
