Anita White Carson Middle School

Summary:

Anita White Carson Middle School is a public middle school located in Greensboro, Georgia, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 524 students. The school is part of the Greene County School District, which is ranked 79 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and high spending per student, Anita White Carson Middle School consistently underperforms compared to the state and county averages on the Georgia Milestones Assessments. The school has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia middle schools, with a ranking ranging from 407 out of 521 in 2013-2014 to 510 out of 588 in the current 2023-2024 school year. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies are significantly lower than the state and county averages across all grade levels. Additionally, Anita White Carson Middle School has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 97.33% to 97.73% in recent years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing Anita White Carson Middle School to the nearby Putnam County Middle School and Morgan County Middle School, the performance gap is significant. Both Putnam County and Morgan County middle schools consistently outperform Anita White Carson Middle School on the Georgia Milestones Assessments, with higher proficiency rates across all subject areas and grade levels. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing levels may be influencing Anita White Carson Middle School's persistent underperformance, and a comprehensive review of the school's educational strategies, resources, and support systems may be necessary to address these challenges.

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.
