Summary

Daleville Middle School serves 302 students in grades 5-8 in Daleville, Alabama, a small city in the southeastern part of the state, and is part of the Daleville City district.

For parents, the most important thing to know is that Daleville Middle School faces significant academic challenges, particularly in mathematics. In the most recent school year, math proficiency rates were dramatically below state averages—for example, only 8.33% of 6th graders and 7.69% of 7th graders were proficient in math, compared to state averages of 35.22% and 24.46%, respectively. English scores are also below average, though 5th grade English proficiency (51.32%) is closer to the state mark. The school's overall ranking places it in the bottom quarter of Alabama middle schools. When compared to nearby schools, the gap is striking: Dauphin Junior High School (8.5 miles away) ranks in the 97th percentile, and Coppinville School (9.7 miles away) ranks in the 88th percentile. Even South Dale Middle School, which serves a very similar student population, outperforms Daleville in nearly every subject—for instance, 50% of its 5th graders are proficient in math versus 18.67% at Daleville. The school also has a high student-teacher ratio of 25.1:1, which is the highest among all nearby middle schools and may limit individualized attention.

However, there are genuine bright spots. Chronic absenteeism has been cut by more than half, dropping from 28.3% to 12.7% in a single year, now nearly matching the state average. English Language Learner students have shown remarkable progress, moving from the 7th percentile statewide to the 50th percentile over three years. Additionally, 8th grade science proficiency (48.75%) is close to the state average (54.12%), suggesting effective instructional strategies in that subject. Special Education students also perform relatively well, ranking in the 33rd percentile. These successes indicate the school has the capacity to improve, and parents may want to ask how the school plans to replicate these wins in math and reading.
