Summary

Wilson Hall Middle School in Grove Hill, AL, serves 201 students in grades 5 through 8 and is part of the Clarke County school district, which ranks in the bottom quarter of districts statewide. The school itself has a 1-star rating and ranks in the 30th percentile of Alabama middle schools, with about 78% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch.

The most striking comparison is with Thomasville Middle School, located just 12.74 miles away. While Wilson Hall ranks in the 30th percentile, Thomasville ranks in the 82nd percentile with a 4-star rating. This gap shows up across subjects—for example, in 7th-grade math, only 8.33% of Wilson Hall students were proficient compared to 56.72% at Thomasville. However, Wilson Hall shows relative strength in English Language Arts, with 7th and 8th-grade proficiency rates at or above the district average. The school also shows a positive trend in 8th-grade science, with proficiency rising from 26.32% in 2022-2023 to 34.78% in 2025-2026.

One of the most concerning patterns is a dramatic "math cliff" between 5th and 6th grade. In the 2025-2026 school year, 16.36% of 5th graders were proficient in math, but this dropped to 0% for 6th graders—a pattern that has persisted for several years. Chronic absenteeism is also a challenge, though it has improved from 25.8% in 2021-2022 to 14.0% in 2024-2025. This rate remains higher than the district average of 8.6% and is stark compared to Jackson Middle School, the other school in the same district, which reported only 3.1% chronic absenteeism. While Wilson Hall outperforms Jackson in 7th-grade math and ELA, Jackson does better in 8th-grade math and science, showing that the two schools have different strengths despite being in the same district.
