Summary:

General Ray Davis Middle School consistently outperforms the Rockdale County and Georgia state averages in Milestones Assessment/Algebra I, English Language Arts, and Mathematics across grades 6-8. For example, in 2023-2024, the school had 97.2% proficiency in Algebra I, compared to 29% for Rockdale County and 44% for Georgia. The school has maintained a strong statewide ranking, placing in the top half of Georgia middle schools for the past several years, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio ranging from 12.9 to 14.3 over the past three years.

While General Ray Davis Middle School outperforms the Rockdale County and Georgia averages, it is not the highest-performing school in the immediate area. Union Grove Middle School, which is part of the Henry County School District, consistently ranks higher than General Ray Davis Middle School and outperforms it in most academic metrics. This suggests that factors beyond just the school district, such as community resources and parental involvement, may play a role in a school's academic success.

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.
