Summary

Foley Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in Foley, Alabama, with 769 students. It is part of the Baldwin County School District, which is ranked 33 out of 135 school districts in Alabama and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Foley Middle School faces several academic challenges compared to other middle schools in the Baldwin County district. Its students' standardized test scores lag behind the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics and science. For example, in 2024-2025, only 22.28% of 7th graders and 21.57% of 8th graders were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 35.65% and 36.48% for the Baldwin County district, respectively.

When compared to other middle schools in the Baldwin County district, such as Fairhope Middle School and Daphne Middle School, Foley Middle School consistently underperforms academically. To improve the school's performance, the district and school leadership should focus on addressing the root causes of the academic and attendance challenges, such as providing targeted interventions and support for struggling students, improving teaching quality, and implementing strategies to engage families and the community.
