Luella Middle School

Locust Grove sits in the southern stretch of Henry County, a fast-growing area where suburban Atlanta life meets a quieter, small-town pace — and Luella Middle School serves a community that's still finding its footing academically. Families relocating to the area for affordable housing and more space should go in with realistic expectations, as the school scores below the state median in most subjects, particularly science. It may be a better fit for families who prioritize involvement and are prepared to supplement their child's learning at home or through outside resources.
