Lewis Frasier Middle School, Hinesville GA

Original Research by School Decision on Lewis Frasier Middle School

Lewis Frasier Middle School serves grades six through eight in Hinesville, a fast-growing military town anchored by Fort Stewart. The school enrolls a substantial student population, with roughly a third of students in each grade.

The student body is predominantly students of color, with the largest share identifying as Black, followed by Hispanic students. A large majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting the economic profile of much of the school's catchment area. The data does not identify enrollment percentages for students receiving special education services or learning English as an additional language.

On state assessments, Lewis Frasier's proficiency rates are low across subjects. In math, proficiency runs below the low range: sixth graders show the weakest performance, with seventh grade slightly higher and eighth graders performing better but still substantially below the middle. English language arts proficiency is similar, with sixth grade lowest and seventh grade somewhat higher, before dropping again in eighth grade. Science proficiency, tested in eighth grade only, is lower still. Social studies proficiency in eighth grade is the school's strongest subject area on these tests, though still modest. Without multi-year trend data, it is not possible to determine whether performance is improving or declining. A parent may want to look into the school's current intervention strategies and support for students not yet meeting grade-level standards, and how the school tracks progress over time.

Hinesville itself is among the faster-growing cities in Southeast Georgia, with a median home price in the moderate range and rental rates slightly below the national benchmark. The median household income sits comfortably above state and national figures. Fort Stewart's dominance as the region's largest employer shapes the workforce toward military families and defense-sector employment. The city has invested in downtown revitalization, including Bryant Commons, a major civic park that opened recently, and the school district operates on separate campuses rather than clustered around downtown.

Liberty County School District has been lowering its property tax millage rate while keeping district finances stable through growth in the assessed tax digest. In 2025, voters were asked to renew a one-cent sales tax for school construction, repairs, buses, digital resources, and a new school, shifting capital funding to shoppers rather than property owners alone. The district operates seven elementary schools, three middle schools, and two comprehensive high schools serving Hinesville and surrounding areas including Midway.

No data on discipline, attendance, course offerings, or specialized programs was available for this school.

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.
