Summary
Moorer Middle School in Eufaula, AL, serves 495 students in grades 6 through 8 within the Eufaula City district, a school that holds a 2-star rating and ranks in the 30th percentile statewide.
For parents, the most important takeaway is that Moorer Middle consistently outperforms its own district in nearly every subject and grade level. For example, 8th-grade math proficiency is 18% at the school compared to just 8% for the district, and 7th-grade English proficiency is 44% versus 39% district-wide. This suggests the school is a relative academic strength within its local area. However, compared to the rest of Alabama, the school lags significantly behind state averages—6th-grade math proficiency is 24% versus 35% statewide, and 8th-grade science is 37% versus 54% statewide. English Language Arts is a clear relative strength, with proficiency rates much closer to state averages than math or science scores. The school also shows notable effectiveness with specific student groups, including English Language Learners (54th percentile) and Special Education students (56th percentile), both earning 3-star ratings.
One area of concern is chronic absenteeism. While the rate has improved dramatically from 30.6% in 2023-2024 to 15.2% in 2024-2025, it remains over four times higher than the district average of just 3.3%. This suggests absenteeism is a school-specific challenge rather than a district-wide issue. The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 75% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio has improved to 14.3. Over the past five years, the school's statewide rank has climbed from the 19th percentile to the 30th, showing steady, albeit slow, improvement. For parents, this is a school that works hard for its students within a challenging environment, showing particular strength in literacy and support for diverse learners, while still facing significant hurdles in math, science, and attendance.
