Founded in 1975, Sandy Springs Middle School provides an enriching educational environment for close to 1,000 sixth through eighth grade students. This charter school operates with interdisciplinary team teaching, which helps give students more opportunities to learn at their own pace. In addition to coursework in traditional subjects, students also choose from Connections courses, which include performing and visual arts, broadcasting, engineering, health and physical education. Students can also learn French, Spanish or Latin. Academic, social, and athletic clubs provide opportunities for students to develop social, leadership and teamwork skills. Students can join a band, explore robotics or journalism, or get creative in art club. The Sandy Springs Middle School Stallions compete in all major sports, so there’s something to do in every season. Students can also run cross country or track, play football or soccer or cheer for the Stallions on the cheerleading squad.

GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
