The school has shown steady improvement over the past three years, climbing from the 53rd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 61st percentile in 2025–2026, though it remains a solid 3-star school in the middle tier of Alabama middle schools.
English is the clear academic strength at New Brockton Middle. Students in every grade level outperformed state averages in English for both school years analyzed, with the 2024–2025 7th grade class posting an impressive 70.8% proficiency rate—more than 14 points above the state average. Science is also a bright spot, particularly in 8th grade, where proficiency jumped from 35.16% to 58.49% in one year, now exceeding the state average. Mathematics is the main concern, with proficiency declining as students advance: 6th graders scored 34.62% (above state), but 7th and 8th graders fell below state averages at 23.36% and 21.7%, respectively. The 8th grade math score from 2024–2025 was especially low at 14.84%, though it improved by nearly 7 points the following year.
Attendance is a standout positive—the school's chronic absenteeism rate is just 5.3%, less than half the state's 12.0%, indicating strong student engagement. Despite 56.11% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, the school achieves above-average results in English and Science, suggesting effective instruction in those areas. The school generally trails its district averages in most subjects, particularly 6th grade math (34.62% vs. 49.11% district) and 6th grade English (56.15% vs. 68.75% district), but outperforms the district in 7th grade English. With a student-to-teacher ratio of 18.9:1 and a positive upward trajectory, New Brockton Middle is a dependable choice for families, though math intervention in upper grades may be worth monitoring.
