Summary

Demopolis Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Demopolis, Alabama, part of the Demopolis City School District. With 410 students, the school consistently outperforms the state average in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects, ranking 127 out of 439 Alabama middle schools.

Demopolis Middle School's academic performance is particularly strong, with 56.92% of 6th graders proficient or better in math, compared to the state average of 33.97%, and 63.85% of 6th graders proficient or better in English, compared to the state average of 56.81%. The school also ranks in the top 25% of Alabama middle schools for African American and White students, indicating strong academic achievement for these groups. However, the school has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.8% in 2021-2022 to 17.9% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern.

Compared to nearby schools, Demopolis Middle School significantly outperforms Greensboro Middle School and George P. Austin Junior High School in academic achievement. For example, in 2024-2025, only 8% of 6th graders at Greensboro Middle School were proficient or better in math, compared to 56.92% at Demopolis Middle School. However, the school should investigate the reasons for the decline in performance for male students and students with low socioeconomic status, and implement targeted interventions to support these student groups.
