Bay Minette Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in Bay Minette, Alabama, with a student population of 435. The school is part of the Baldwin County school district, which is ranked 33 out of 135 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, Bay Minette Middle School has consistently underperformed compared to the Baldwin County and Alabama state averages in standardized test scores across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics for 7th and 8th grades were around 21%, compared to the Baldwin County average of 35-36% and the state average of 24%. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.2% to 18.5% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.59% to 79.08% over the past few years, indicating a relatively low-income student population.

When compared to the nearby Daphne Middle School and Spanish Fort Middle School, both within the same Baldwin County district, Bay Minette Middle School significantly underperforms in academic achievement.

Targeted interventions and support programs focused on improving academic achievement, especially for underperforming subgroups, could be beneficial for Bay Minette Middle School.
