Summary

Redland Middle School in Wetumpka, AL, is a high-performing public school serving 579 students in grades 5 through 8 as part of the Elmore County school district. The school has earned a 4-star rating for three consecutive years and currently ranks 64th out of 443 middle schools statewide (86th percentile), making it the clear academic leader in its district.

The most remarkable strength at Redland is 5th-grade mathematics, where 75.38% of students are proficient—nearly double the state average of 39.06%. This advantage is consistent year after year, though proficiency dips to 56.34% by 6th grade, suggesting the school excels at launching students but may want to examine how to sustain that momentum. Redland outperforms district and state averages in nearly every subject and grade level, including 7th-grade English (69.84% vs. 55.25% statewide) and 8th-grade science (62.03% vs. 54.12%). The school also stands out for its equity work: students from low-income backgrounds rank in the 78th percentile, African American students rank in the 84th percentile, and Special Education students jumped from the 59th to the 81st percentile in just two years. One of the most impressive turnarounds is in attendance—chronic absenteeism dropped from 22.9% to 11.6% in a single year, now below both district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Redland is the top performer in its district, far ahead of Eclectic Middle School (65th percentile) and Wetumpka Middle School (60th percentile). In 5th-grade math, Redland's 75.38% proficiency dwarfs Eclectic's 21.6% and Wetumpka's 40.41%. While it doesn't quite reach the heights of elite magnet schools like Baldwin Art And Academics Magnet (94th percentile) or Pike Road Junior High School (91st percentile), Redland remains the strongest traditional public middle school in the region. The only area below 4-star performance is support for military-connected students (65th percentile), a small cohort that may benefit from additional attention given the proximity to Maxwell Air Force Base.
