Summary

Wetumpka Middle School serves 647 students in grades 5 through 8 in Wetumpka, AL, and is part of the Elmore County district. The school has shown strong recent momentum, climbing from the 47th percentile statewide in 2023-2024 to the 60th percentile in 2025-2026, and currently holds a 3-star rating.

One of the school's standout strengths is its exceptional support for English Language Learners, ranking 15th out of 103 schools statewide (85th percentile) in 2025-2026—a remarkable jump of 53 percentile points in just two years. The school also performs strongly with its African American students, ranking in the 72nd percentile, well above its overall performance. Additionally, Wetumpka has made significant progress reducing chronic absenteeism, dropping from 28.9% in 2023-2024 to 17.7% in 2024-2025, though this rate remains above the district and state averages. Incoming 5th graders arrive with strong skills—84.25% proficiency in English and 40.41% in math, both above district and state averages.

However, a concerning pattern emerges as students progress through the grades. Math proficiency drops steadily from 40.41% in 5th grade to just 17.79% in 8th grade, and English proficiency falls from 84.25% to around 60% by 6th grade. This suggests the school struggles to maintain academic momentum in upper grades. Within the district, Wetumpka ranks lowest among the four middle schools—Redland Middle School (86th percentile) and Holtville Middle School (82nd percentile) significantly outperform it, though Wetumpka's 5th grade English scores are actually the highest in the district. The school also faces challenges with Hispanic students (8th percentile) and Special Education students (40th percentile), though the latter has improved dramatically from the 15th percentile. With efficient spending ($7,365 per student) and strong entry-level performance, Wetumpka has a solid foundation to build upon, but must focus on upper-grade instruction and supporting all student subgroups to continue its upward trajectory.
