Summary

Marbury Middle School serves 422 students in grades 6-8 in the rural community of Marbury, Alabama, and is part of the Autauga County school district. The school has maintained a solid 3-star rating for the past decade, currently ranking in the 67th percentile statewide—placing it in the upper third of Alabama middle schools.

The school's standout strength is its 8th grade English program, where 70.54% of students scored proficient in the most recent testing year. This dramatically outperforms both the district (56.53%) and state (58.53%) averages, and even edges out nearby Holtville Middle School (70.25%), which is otherwise the academic leader in the area. Marbury also beats Prattville Junior High School in 8th grade English by a wide margin (70.54% vs. 55.29%). Another remarkable achievement is the school's dramatic reduction in chronic absenteeism, which fell from 31.5% in 2022-2023 to just 11.3% in 2024-2025—now beating the state average of 12.0%. The school also shows notable effectiveness with its African American students, ranking in the 74th percentile for that subgroup.

However, there are areas of concern. Mathematics proficiency drops significantly from 6th grade (37.14%) to 8th grade (21.71%), with 7th grade math being a persistent challenge—though the school has shown improvement there recently. Science scores have also been volatile, swinging from 30% proficiency in 2024-2025 to 52.71% in 2025-2026. Special education outcomes have declined from the 53rd to 44th percentile over the past two years. The school spends $7,989 per student, which is higher than several nearby schools including Wetumpka Middle School ($7,365) and Millbrook Middle School ($7,287), yet outcomes remain middle-of-the-pack compared to peers. Overall, Marbury Middle is a stable school with a clear model of excellence in 8th grade English that could be replicated across other subjects.
