Summary

Boaz Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Boaz, Alabama, part of the Boaz City School District. With 548 students, the school generally performs better than the state average on standardized tests, particularly in English/Language Arts. For example, in 2024-2025, over 50% of Boaz Middle School students scored proficient or better on the Summative Assessment/English exam, compared to the state averages of around 55%.

Boaz Middle School also performs relatively well for its Hispanic and Native American student subgroups, ranking 77th and 30th out of around 170-180 Alabama middle schools for those subgroups in 2024-2025. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has increased from 9.6% to 17.9% over the past year, which is an area the school may want to focus on improving. Compared to nearby middle schools like Litchfield, Gadsden, and Sansom, Boaz Middle School generally outperforms them on academic measures like test scores and subgroup performance.

Despite having a relatively high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 66.61% to 76.45% over the past few years, Boaz Middle School is able to achieve strong academic outcomes with a per-student spending of $8,964 in 2018-2019, which is on the lower end compared to some nearby schools. This suggests the school is effectively utilizing its resources to support student learning.
