Summary

Alexandria Middle School serves 503 students in grades 5 through 8 in the Alexandria, AL area, operating within the Calhoun County district and currently ranking in the 72nd percentile statewide (4 stars) for the 2025-2026 school year.

This school has some real bright spots that stand out. Most notably, Alexandria Middle School shows exceptional results with its Special Education students—jumping from the 37th percentile to the 88th percentile statewide in just one year, which is a remarkable turnaround. The school also consistently earns 4 stars for its support of students from low-income families, ranking in the 74th-82nd percentile over the past three years. In math, 5th and 6th graders are thriving, with proficiency rates around 50% and 58% respectively—well above both district and state averages. Science is another strength, with 8th graders hitting nearly 66% proficiency compared to the state average of 54%. Chronic absenteeism is also lower than nearby schools at just 9.4%, suggesting students are engaged and showing up.

However, there's a notable challenge: 7th-grade math proficiency drops dramatically to just 17%, which is below both district (22%) and state (24%) averages. This is a steep decline from the strong 6th-grade performance and has been a consistent trend for four years. For comparison, nearby White Plains Middle School actually sees math scores improve from 6th to 7th grade, while Anniston Middle School (just 5.8 miles away) ranks much lower overall at the 18th percentile. Alexandria also outperforms Rainbow Middle School and Hokes Bluff Middle School in overall state ranking. If the school can address the 7th-grade math slump, it has strong potential to climb even higher in the rankings.
