Summary

Cullman Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in Cullman, Alabama, which is part of the highly-ranked Cullman City School District. This school has consistently been among the top-performing middle schools in the state, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for several consecutive years.

Cullman Middle School stands out for its exceptional academic performance, consistently outpacing the state averages in mathematics and English proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 57.09% of 7th graders and 56.11% of 8th graders were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state averages of 24.08% and 24.53%, respectively. The school also excels in supporting the academic achievement of diverse student subgroups, ranking among the top schools in Alabama for female, male, Hispanic, White, multi-racial, special education, and low socioeconomic status students. Additionally, Cullman Middle School maintains relatively low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 6.6% to 17.9% over the past few years, which is lower than the state average.

While Cullman Middle School's performance is exceptional, the nearby Hartselle City schools, such as Hartselle Intermediate School and Hartselle Junior High School, also demonstrate strong academic achievement, with high proficiency rates in mathematics and English. In contrast, the nearby Cullman County schools generally have lower academic proficiency rates and higher percentages of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to the performance gaps observed between these schools and Cullman Middle School.
