Clifton Ridge Middle School

Clifton Ridge Middle School sits in Jones County just outside Macon, offering a quieter, more suburban feel compared to the bustle of the city proper — the kind of area where families tend to put down roots and stay. The school lands solidly in the middle of the pack statewide, with a particular strength in science that pushes it well above average and gives it a real edge for students who gravitate toward hands-on, analytical learning. Families looking for a stable, community-grounded middle school experience in a less hectic corner of central Georgia will find a lot to like here.
