Summary

Anniston Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Anniston, Alabama, which is part of the Anniston City School District. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Alabama middle schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 350-424 out of around 430-440 schools.

Anniston Middle School faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in mathematics, English/Language Arts, and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, only 17.78% of 6th graders, 3.81% of 7th graders, and 3.03% of 8th graders were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state averages of 33.97%, 24.08%, and 24.53% respectively. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.8% to 18.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. These academic and attendance issues are likely exacerbated by the fact that 91.12% of Anniston Middle School's students come from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Comparisons to nearby middle schools, such as Glencoe Middle School, Piedmont Middle School, and White Plains Middle School, which are part of different school districts, highlight the potential for improvement at Anniston Middle School. These schools consistently outperform Anniston Middle School across academic measures and have higher rankings within the state.
