Summary

Demopolis Middle School in Demopolis, AL, serves 394 students in grades 6 through 8 and is part of the Demopolis City district, which ranks in the top quarter of Alabama districts. The school itself has climbed dramatically in state rankings over the past decade, moving from the 52nd percentile in 2015-2016 to the 77th percentile (4 stars) today—a sustained improvement that signals real, lasting progress in academics and school culture.

What truly sets Demopolis Middle apart is how far ahead it is of nearby schools. In 6th grade math, for example, 58.33% of Demopolis students are proficient, compared to just 7.35% at Greensboro Middle School and 9.09% at George P Austin Junior High School. Even in 8th grade math—its lowest subject—Demopolis still more than doubles its neighbors' rates. The school also beats the state average in key areas, including 6th grade math (58.33% vs. 35.22% statewide) and 8th grade science (63.85% vs. 54.12%). Notably, Demopolis achieves these results while spending less per student ($8,635) than either neighboring district, and with a lower free/reduced lunch rate (59.39% vs. nearly 90% at the other schools).

One of the most impressive findings is the school's work with Special Education students, where it ranks in the 86th percentile statewide—a sign of highly effective support systems. It also performs strongly across racial subgroups, ranking in the 80s percentile for both White and African American students. The school has also cut chronic absenteeism from 14.9% to 10.4% over three years. The one area to watch is 7th grade math, where proficiency dips to 36.64%—a pattern that suggests a possible transition challenge worth investigating. Overall, Demopolis Middle School is delivering a high-quality education that outpaces its region and much of the state.
