School Overview

Ware County Middle School sits in Waycross, a small south Georgia city known for its railroad history and close-knit community feel — the kind of place where teachers tend to know their students by name. The school's standout story is its math program, which ranks in the top few percent statewide and makes it a genuinely strong option for families who want their middle schooler pushed in STEM. Families who value a tight community, affordable cost of living, and a school that punches above its weight in math will find a lot to like here.
