Feagin Mill Middle School, Warner Robins GA

Original Research by School Decision on Feagin Mill Middle School

Feagin Mill Middle School serves grades six through eight in Warner Robins, a fast-growing military town anchored by Robins Air Force Base. The school sits in a district that is actively managing growth while holding down property taxes and building new capacity through bond-funded projects.

The school enrolls a mix of students that reflects the town's character. More than half qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The enrollment spans a diverse racial and ethnic makeup, with roughly equal shares of white and Black students and smaller populations from other groups. The school draws from a transient military population, longtime residents, and newcomers arriving for the base's aerospace and defense sector jobs.

On state testing, Feagin Mill shows mixed performance by subject and grade. In English language arts, proficiency ranges from just above half in sixth grade to near three-fifths by eighth grade. Math proficiency sits in the low-to-mid range across the three grades, with eighth grade performing better than the earlier years. Science proficiency is notably lower, below two-fifths in eighth grade. Social studies proficiency in eighth grade sits at just above mid-range. These scores reflect a school working to build mastery across the curriculum, with particular room for growth in science. A parent may want to look into what science instruction looks like and what supports exist for students who are not yet proficient.

The school is part of Houston County Schools, a district that has made deliberate changes affecting families. The district rolled back its property tax rate in 2024 and held it steady, a lasting shift in the tax bill for new arrivals. Voters have supported a local sales tax for education through 2027 and into 2028, funding new school buildings and technology upgrades. The district opened a new primary school in 2023 and is building Veterans Middle School to relieve crowding, particularly in fast-growing northern areas. A new STEM and Career Academy is under construction and will open in 2027 for high school students seeking pathways in healthcare, cybersecurity, and engineering with dual-enrollment options.

Warner Robins itself is one of Georgia's fastest-growing cities, with new residential development concentrated in northern and eastern master-planned communities and subdivisions. Housing costs sit around the county-wide median for Georgia. Rental investment is projected to grow as military families rotate through. The city is also pursuing downtown redevelopment and industrial growth through the Robins International Industrial Park. Schools and civic spaces are spread across the landscape and reached by car; there is no fixed-route public transit. Civic life centers on the Air Force Base, the Museum of Aviation, and parks managed by the city recreation department.

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.
