Summary:
The Chilton County middle school system consists of four schools serving grades 4-8: Clanton Intermediate School, Jemison Intermediate School, Clanton Middle School, and Jemison Middle School. Located in Chilton County, Alabama, these schools serve a student population facing significant economic challenges, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the four schools, Clanton Intermediate School stands out as a top performer, consistently exceeding the Chilton County and Alabama averages in both mathematics and English language arts across the 4th, 5th, and 6th grades. In contrast, Jemison Intermediate School struggles, with lower proficiency rates compared to the county and state, particularly in mathematics. The two middle schools, Clanton Middle School and Jemison Middle School, both have lower mathematics proficiency rates than the county and state, but perform better in English language arts.
The data reveals a notable disparity in academic performance between the intermediate schools and the middle schools, suggesting that the earlier grades may be more effective in laying the foundation for student success. Additionally, the high levels of economic disadvantage across all four schools highlight the need for targeted support and resources to address the unique challenges faced by the student population in Chilton County.
