Summary

Green Acres Middle School is a public middle school in Birmingham, Alabama, serving 326 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Birmingham City School District, which is ranked 113 out of 135 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Green Acres Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Alabama middle schools, with low proficiency rates on state assessments that are significantly below the Birmingham City and Alabama state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 10% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 12.71% for Birmingham City and 33.97% for the state. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.6% to 23.3% over the past few years.

While Green Acres Middle School spends $14,583 per student, which is higher than the spending at some nearby higher-performing schools, the academic outcomes suggest that additional targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve student learning and achievement. Interestingly, the school's strong performance among English language learners, who rank in the top 20% of Alabama middle schools, indicates that the school may have effective strategies in place for supporting this student population that could be leveraged to benefit other subgroups. Additionally, the school's proximity to higher-performing schools in neighboring districts, such as Hueytown Middle School and Pizitz Middle School, presents an opportunity to explore potential partnerships or shared best practices that could benefit the students at Green Acres Middle School.
