Middle Schools in Talladega County

The Talladega County school district in Alabama is home to three middle schools, serving students in grades 6-8. Based on the available data, Charles R. Drew Middle School stands out as the top performer among the three, with significantly higher test scores and a higher statewide ranking compared to the county and state averages.

While Munford Middle School and Childersburg Middle School struggle in certain subject areas, particularly mathematics, Charles R. Drew Middle School consistently outperforms the county and state in most subject areas and grade levels. This standout school has a statewide ranking of 72 out of 439 Alabama middle schools and a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The data also reveals that all three middle schools in the Talladega County district have similar chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting a systemic issue that could benefit from targeted interventions. Additionally, the high free/reduced lunch rates across the schools indicate that they serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, which may be a factor in the observed performance differences.
