Yeager Middle School

Q: Is Yeager Middle School a good school?

Yeager Middle School ranks 330 th of 588 Georgia middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Yeager Middle School is a public middle school in Douglasville, Georgia, serving 542 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Douglas County School District, which is ranked 116 out of 203 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Yeager Middle School has consistently underperformed compared to other schools in the area. Its academic performance, as measured by the Milestones Assessment, is significantly below the Douglas County and Georgia state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 9.7% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 20.2% in Douglas County and 34.7% statewide. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 60.62% to 70.3% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

However, Yeager Middle School does have one bright spot: its performance on the Algebra I End of Course assessment, where the school has significantly outperformed the Douglas County and Georgia state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 73.3% to 97.6% over the past few years. When compared to nearby schools like Fairplay Middle School and Mason Creek Middle School, it's clear that Yeager Middle School is underperforming, suggesting that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support systems to address the challenges faced by its economically disadvantaged student population.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
