Summary

Wetumpka Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in Wetumpka, Alabama, part of the Elmore County School District. With 672 students, the school has faced some academic challenges in recent years, with its ranking declining from 85 out of 430 Alabama middle schools in 2014-2015 to 234 out of 442 in 2023-2024. The school's current 2-star rating from SchoolDigger indicates below-average performance compared to other Alabama middle schools.

Wetumpka Middle School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White and Multi-racial students performing relatively well, but the school struggling with lower rankings for Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Additionally, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 17.6% in 2022-2023 to 20.1% in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the state average. With 72.63% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, the school has a high concentration of students from low-income backgrounds.

Compared to nearby Elmore County middle schools, such as Eclectic Middle School, Millbrook Middle School, and Redland Middle School, Wetumpka Middle School's performance is generally lower, with these schools tending to have higher academic rankings, better student subgroup performance, and lower chronic absenteeism rates.
