Summary

Dauphin Junior High School in Enterprise, AL, serves 481 students in grades 7-8 and is part of the highly-rated Enterprise City district, ranking 14th out of 443 middle schools statewide.

Dauphin Junior High is an academic powerhouse, consistently earning 5-star ratings and ranking in the top 5% of Alabama middle schools for over a decade. In the most recent testing year, proficiency rates were roughly 2-3 times the state average across all subjects. For example, 69.3% of 7th graders and 58.2% of 8th graders scored proficient in math, compared to state averages of 24.5% and 26.4% respectively. English scores are equally impressive, with over 80% of students proficient in both grades. The school also boasts a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 3.7%, far below the state average of 12%, indicating strong student engagement. What truly sets Dauphin apart is its success across all student groups—it ranks #1 in the state for both English Language Learners and Military Connected Students, and in the top 16 statewide for African American, White, female, and low-income students. Special education students have also shown dramatic improvement, climbing from the 45th to the 90th percentile in just two years.

Compared to nearby schools, Dauphin is in a class of its own. Its 8th grade math proficiency (58.2%) is more than double that of Geneva County Middle School (52.3%) and more than ten times that of D A Smith Middle School (5.3%). Even Coppinville School, the other middle school in the same district, trails significantly—Dauphin outperforms it by 20-30 percentage points in most subjects despite serving a similar student population. Dauphin achieves these results while spending less per student ($7,911) than most comparable schools, demonstrating exceptional efficiency and instructional quality.

Thursday, October 5, 2023

This is my son's first year at this school. All the staff care for the kids that I have seen so far. Their teacher are great about reaching out to the parent's if they need to let them know anything about your child. I wished this was my son's school through the 12 grade but it will not be. I would tell anyone that wants a great school for their child to send them here. The principal runs a tight ship at this school but I am so glad he does because it has help my son learn a lot of how to follow the guidelines to be a better student. My son is autistic and this has been very challenging for him but he loves it here and so do I. Close Quote
