Summary
School leaders told the Coffee County Board of Education that middle‑school test scores rose across grades and subjects, with the school moving from level 1 to level 4; staff credited culture and targeted work by teachers.
Coffee County Middle School reported notable gains on recent tests and a school accountability jump from level 1 to level 4, Principal Dr. Anderson told the Coffee County Board of Education.
Dr. Anderson presented four‑year comparisons showing double‑digit percentage gains in several grade‑subject combinations. He reported the following increases: sixth‑grade ELA up about 12 percent and math up about 17 percent; seventh‑grade ELA up about 10 percent and math up about 22 percent; eighth‑grade ELA up about 4 percent, math up about 21 percent and science up about 15 percent. Dr. Anderson said social studies also increased in multiple grades by roughly 10–12 percent. He attributed the improvements to sustained staff effort and a positive culture focused on instruction and student growth.
“These increases have not happened just by happenstance, but it’s because of the dedication and the work that our staff is putting in every single day,” Dr. Anderson told the board.
Board members and the superintendent praised the progress. Dr. Anderson noted the gains reflect both achievement and growth metrics; he said staff had shared comparative data with teachers earlier in the year.
Principal Dr. Anderson also reminded the board of upcoming student events — the band and choir concert, pep rallies and athletic seasons — and said the school will continue to prioritize academics and extracurricular opportunities.
The board did not take formal action on the report; the presentation served as a progress update that board members said they wanted to highlight publicly.
