Top 5 Schools in Warner Robins Georgia
If you are thinking about making a move and relocating to Warner Robins and schools are a huge priority for you and your family, then this is for you.
Over the last couple of years, I help numerous people from all over to Globe relocate to Warner Robins. And one of the big concerns I always hear when talking to people is the schools.
"I want my kids to be in a good school"
And as a dad of two girls, I can completely understand that concern. Having that question is probably the most normal thing for parents when deciding on relocating to a new area.
Education for your child is important, and it should be, the education paves the way for the future. But when it comes to those online ratings of the schools, they don't really reflect what is really going on and why parents maybe chose this specific school.
So I would suggest talking to some local families to see why did they choose the school district or specific schools their child goes to because it could be that one school shines when it comes to sports or academics or music and the others don't.
So where does that school shine and where does it need a little bit of improvement?
You can find that out by talking to local parents. How do you figure out which school would actually suit your child the best? I know a lot of thinking in research goes into making those decisions. It's not only the sports programs, academic programs, or music programs as well as teachers.
It's also where's your kid right now.
Is it in middle school or on the way to high school? That is all stuff you should figure out prior. Do your research within the community! Facebook sometimes is a great resource as we all know, people will tell you the pros and cons of the schools there, or talk to neighbors.
The ratings of elementary, middle, and high school that I highlight here, are ratings that you can find at www.geratschools.org or www.niche.com.
So I will take those ratings because they have some factual data as well as parents' reviews and give you the top three of each category,
- elementary
- middle school
- high school
And yes, they're gonna be people that say,
"Hey, we do have primary schools"
Yes, I know there are primary schools, but there are not enough primary schools in each school district that I could create a top three list out of them.
With all that being said, let's jump into the top three elementary schools in the Warner Robins area.
#3 on the list is Purdue Elementary School.
Purdue Elementary School has around 661 students.
And a big question for a lot of parents is, what does that mean in the student-to-teacher ratio?
Purdue Elementary has about 18 students to one teacher in a class, which is not bad. I know that a lot of you prefer fewer students in the class because that means the teacher has more individual time for each and every student on a daily basis to help them progress.
The rating for the school is 8 out of 10 on greatschools.org when it comes to student progression, an 8 out of 10, which is still way above the Georgia average. When it comes to testing also an 8 out of 10!
Purdue Elementary has nine reviews on gradeschools.org. There are a couple of reviews on niche.com as well, so if you want to check out those parent reviews, I would encourage you to do so right here:

#2 on the list is Matt Arthur Elementary School.
I have to say in my personal opinion, this school is actually pretty cool because it's a KNIGHT-themed school and my kids go there. So I might be a little bit bias. Nevertheless, MattArthur was rated 9 out of 10 on gradeschool.org.
Matt Arthur has around 791 students, and when it comes to the student-to-teacher ratio, we're a little lower than Purdue Elementary.
The school is at 16 students per teacher. Matt Arthur Elementary School was rated 8 out of 10 when it comes to student progression, but 9 out of 10 when it comes to the testing results. This school has the most reviews online of all schools in Houston County Georgia,
Matt Arthur has 22 reviews from the parents and you can find those right here:

Probably a surprise for a lot of local people here, but #1 is Kings Chapel Elementary School.
Kings Chapel Elementary School was rated 9 out of 10, as well as Matt Arthur. The school has around 544 students, which is quite a bit fewer students than the other two, but the student-to-teacher ratio is the ratio at Matt Arthur Elementary school, 16 students per teacher.
The ratings though are kind of confusing, the school got an overall 7 out of 10, which is still above the state average when it comes to student progression, but it's rated 10 out of 10 when it comes to testing results, and that is way, way above the Georgia State average. There are not many parent reviews but all of them are 5 Star reviews, you can check those out right here:

Let's move on whit the middle schools in the Warner Robins area and see which ones made it in the TOP 3.
Coming in at #3 is Mossy Creek Middle School.
Mossy Creek Middle School has around 734 students, those 734 students have a teacher-student ratio of 16 to 1, so not bad at all. Mossy Creek Middle School was rated 7 out of 10. It got a 7 for the student progression and it got a 10 for the testing results, which is great. 10 is way above average and 7 is only a little bit above average when it comes to the parent review score.
This school does not have that grade of a parent review score. I mean, they have 15 reviews on gradeschools.com and only have an overall review rating of 3.2 out of 5. So with that being said, of course, we got 734 students and only 15 parents took the time to review the school, so it might not really reflect what the school is all about, but it's pretty interesting as a parent to see what takes other parents have on those schools.

#2 is Bonaire Middle School
Holy moly Bonaire Middle School has 1041 students. Is that school really that big? When I drive by there, it doesn't seem like that school is that huge.
1041 students, which brings this student-to-teacher ratio at Bonaire Middle School, two 17 to one. That is not that bad at all. The overall rating of the school is a 7 out of 10. Bonaire middle school scored a whopping 6 out of 10 when it comes to student progression and a 9 out of 10 when it comes to testing results, which is great and above, way above the state average.
But please bare with me. How can it be that Mossy Creek Middle School scores a 7 when it comes to student progression and scores, a 10 when it comes to testing results, and Mossi Creek is rated lower than Bonaire Middle School?

I do not get that math here! Gradeschools.org. probably needs to reevaluate this and as I said you can not just go by these online ratings and here is the proof!
Well, well, when it comes to parents' reviews, Bonaire has about 17 reviews on greatschools.org, and it could be different on niche.com. But on greatschools.org, Bonaire Middle School only scored an overall 3.1 star out of 5. I know it is not the overall opinion of all the parents there, but 17 reviews is actually a lot on sites like that.
#1 is Feagin Mill Middle School
With 935 students and a student-to-teacher ratio of 16 to 1. Again, this is a good ratio!
The school scored an 8 out of 10 on greatschools.org. I still don't know how the rating of the top three really works because Feagin Mill Middle School scored a 9 out of 10 when it comes to testing results in only a 6 out of 10 when it comes to student progression, which is pretty much exactly the same then the other two schools.
When it comes to the overall parent reviews for Feagin Mill Middle School, yes, we are a little bit higher than Bonaire and Mossy Greek 3.2 and 3.1 wasn't really that great, but they also had more reviews. Fegan Mill Middle School has nine reviews and comes in at an overall 3.7 stars out of 5. You can check out the parent reviews right here:

Let's wrap this up with the last category, high schools and people let me tell you, this is an important state of your child's education and an important decision. This will form will help get your children get ready for the future, adult life, and college.
#3 is Perry High School
I'm pretty sure a lot of people did not think about Perry High School when it comes to the best-rated schools.
Perry High rated 6 out of 10 when it comes to an overall rating. They scored a 6 out of 10 when it comes to testing results as well as Student progression. Perry High School scored a 9 out of 10 and is way above average when it comes to college readiness.

And when it comes to parent reviews, parents must think very highly. Perry High School has actually the highest parent rating of all High Schools 4.3 stars out of 5.

#2 is Veterans High School
I'm pretty sure a lot of people thought that Veterans High School is coming in at number one, but it depends on which platform you are doing your research on. Because I'm pretty sure number one and number two are very close when it comes to the ratings.
Veterans High School has about 1700 students and a student-teacher ratio of 18 to 1. Veterans High School scored, 8 out of 10 in the testing results, and 7 out of 10 when it comes to student progression, both of those scores are above average, but when it comes to college readiness, Veterans High School scores a perfect 10 out of 10!
Veterans High School comes in at 3.8 stars out of 5 when it comes to parents reviewing the school, which is still better than the scores we've seen in the middle schools, but number two is lower than the number three ranked high school. You got some work to do Veterans High!
You can find the score and parent ratings as well as reviews here:
#1 and therefore the best rated High School in the Warner Robins area is Houston County High School
I bet a lot of locals could have guessed that after I mentioned veterans at number two, and most people who looked into school ratings know that Houston County and Veterans High School are mostly number one and two on all those rating websites, but Houston County High takes the 1st Place om greatschools.org.
Houston County High is rated 9 out of 10 overall, so almost a perfect score. The school scores 9 out of 10 when it comes to testing results, 9 out of 10 when it comes to student progression, which is way above the state average, and a perfect 10 out of 10 when it comes to college readiness.
When it comes to the students, Houston County High has about 1900 students, which is the most students of all the schools that I mentioned and the student-teacher ratio is 17 to 1. This ratio is still a little higher than Georgia's average of 15 to 1, but it's lower than Veterans High School.
When it comes to the parent rating Houston County High does not score as well either, with a 3.4 out of 5 stars. How come the higher-rated schools do have not that great of a parent rating?

I hope this gives you some information about the schools in the Warner Robins area and may help you choose the right school and district for your family to live in. But keep in mind those are online ratings and you should definitely talk to local parents to make the best decision possible for you and your kids.
