Rehoboth Road Middle School, Griffin GA

Original Research by School Decision on Rehoboth Road Middle School

Rehoboth Road Middle School serves the grades in between, when academic foundations are shifting. The school enrolls a student body that is predominantly low-income, with a substantial majority of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The enrollment is split nearly evenly between Black and white students, with a smaller Hispanic population and very small numbers of Asian, American Indian, and multiracial students.

The state test results from the most recent school year show middle school performance that sits well below passing thresholds across all tested subjects. In English language arts, proficiency in sixth and seventh grades hovers around a third of students, and climbs modestly by eighth grade. In mathematics, the pattern repeats: sixth and seventh grades show very low proficiency, but eighth grade improves to around half of students meeting the standard. In science and social studies, tested only in eighth grade, results are considerably weaker. Science proficiency is low, while social studies sits in the mid-range of eighth-grade performance.

What emerges from the test data is a school where students struggle early in their middle school years and begin recovering in eighth grade, at least in math and ELA. This pattern could reflect instruction that gains traction over time, or a school where older students find their footing after earlier transitions. A parent may want to look into the school's approach to sixth-grade math and reading in particular, as these grades show the most acute challenges.

The school is a regular public school in the Griffin-Spalding County district, located on Rehoboth Road in Griffin, a mixed-use small city that mixes historic downtown character with suburban growth. Griffin has been expanding with new residential development, including an active adult community under construction, and downtown renovation. The school district made a recent shift in local tax policy, rolling back millage rates to the lowest in decades and opting out of Georgia's statewide floating homestead exemption, meaning school-tax bills will track full property reassessments rather than capped growth. These are durable signals for families considering whether to settle in the area.

The school's free and reduced-price lunch rate reflects concentrated economic need, and state test results indicate this school and its peer district are facing sustained academic challenges in the foundation subjects. Neither the school nor the district context provided measures of chronic absenteeism, graduation rates, course-taking breadth, staffing levels, or the experience of students with disabilities or English learners. These gaps mean a full picture of school environment, student support, and access to advanced or elective pathways is not available from the data here. A prospective family would want to contact the school directly to understand how it addresses early-grade math and reading, what support systems exist for the population it serves, and what kinds of academic or career pathways are available as students advance.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
