Screven County Middle School

Summary:

Screven County Middle School is a public middle school located in Sylvania, Georgia, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 455 students. The school is part of the Screven County School District, which is ranked 76 out of 203 districts in Georgia and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Screven County Middle School has consistently underperformed the state average in Milestones Assessment test scores across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 23.9% to 40.7% in English Language Arts and 26.8% to 41.8% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 39.8% to 44.7% and 34.7% to 43.7%, respectively. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 80% to 80.66% over the past three school years, suggesting a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the school's spending per student has remained relatively consistent, ranging from $8,876 to $9,249 over the past three school years, it is slightly lower than the state average, which may contribute to the school's academic performance.

Interestingly, the nearby Jenkins County Middle School, located approximately 18.83 miles away, has a similar demographic profile with a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (93.36% in 2022-2023). However, Jenkins County Middle School has generally outperformed Screven County Middle School in Milestones Assessment test scores, particularly in Mathematics and Science. This suggests that Screven County Middle School may benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve student academic achievement, especially for its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

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.
