Summary

Holtville Middle School in Deatsville, AL, serves 632 students in grades 5-8 and is part of the Elmore County district, which holds a 4-star rating. The school has maintained a consistent 4-star rating for the past decade, with its state ranking fluctuating between the 45th and 169th positions out of roughly 440 schools statewide.

Holtville's most striking strength is its 7th grade mathematics program. In the 2025-2026 school year, 51.06% of 7th graders were proficient in math—more than double the district average (27.9%) and more than double the state average (24.46%). This isn't a one-year fluke; the school has consistently outperformed both district and state averages in 7th grade math across all four years of available data. The school also excels in 8th grade science, with 70.7% of students proficient compared to 54.12% statewide. Perhaps most impressive is the school's work with special education students, ranking 34th out of 266 schools statewide (87th percentile), and its success with economically disadvantaged students, ranking 29th out of 428 schools (93rd percentile). The school also showed dramatic improvement in chronic absenteeism, cutting its rate from 24.3% in 2023-2024 to 13.2% in 2024-2025.

Compared to nearby schools, Holtville outperforms Redland Middle School in 7th grade math (51.06% vs. 30.95%) and 8th grade science (70.7% vs. 62.03%), though Redland excels in 5th grade math and English. The contrast with nearby Montgomery County schools is stark—Baldwin Art And Academics Magnet is the only Montgomery school outperforming Holtville, while schools like Goodwyn Middle School and Capitol Heights Middle School rank in the bottom 3% of Alabama schools with chronic absenteeism rates over 33%. At $8,078 per student, Holtville's spending is moderate, yet it significantly outperforms schools with higher spending. The school shows a pattern where performance dips in 6th grade (a common transition challenge) but recovers strongly by 8th grade, with English proficiency rising from 61.07% in 6th grade to 70.25% in 8th grade.
