W J Carroll Intermediate School

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

W J Carroll Intermediate School in Daphne, AL, serves 414 students in grades 4 through 6 and is part of the highly-rated Baldwin County school district, which holds a 4-star rating.

This school truly shines in English Language Arts. Across all grade levels, students consistently outperform both district and state averages—for example, 5th graders hit 80% proficiency compared to the state's 70%. Science scores are also strong, with 4th graders at 65% proficiency versus the state's 50%. Another standout feature is attendance: the chronic absenteeism rate is just 8.8%, notably lower than the district's 11.2% and far better than some nearby schools like Pillans Middle School (26.5%). The school has also invested in smaller class sizes, dropping the student-teacher ratio from 19.0 to 14.6 over the past few years, and spends more per student ($11,182) than other Baldwin County middle schools.

While English and Science are clear strengths, math performance is more uneven. Fourth-grade math is excellent at 55% proficiency (well above the state's 42%), but 5th-grade math dips to 41%, slightly below the district average. This is worth watching, especially since nearby middle schools like Fairhope Middle School and Spanish Fort Middle School show stronger math scores in 7th grade. The school's strong literacy foundation appears to pay off long-term, as feeder middle schools like Daphne Middle School also post above-average English scores. Overall, W J Carroll is a high-performing school with a positive climate, and its main opportunity for growth lies in boosting math achievement in the upper grades.
