Chattanooga Valley Middle School ranks 252 nd of 588 Georgia middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Chattanooga Valley Middle School is a public middle school in Flintstone, Georgia, serving 491 students in grades 6-8 and part of the Walker County School District. This school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with a higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools.

Chattanooga Valley Middle School has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, despite fluctuations in its statewide ranking. The school serves a population with a lower socioeconomic status, as indicated by its relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. However, the school's ability to outperform the district and state averages in key academic areas suggests that it is effectively supporting its students' educational needs.

While Chattanooga Valley Middle School is performing well, there are still areas where the school could potentially improve, such as in 8th grade Mathematics and Science proficiency rates, which are lower than the state averages. Overall, the school's consistent academic achievement, higher spending per student, and lower student-teacher ratio make it a strong-performing middle school within the Walker County School District.

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.
