Summary

Geneva County Middle School in Hartford, AL, is a small, rural school serving 178 students in grades 6 through 8 within the Geneva County district, which holds a 4-star rating. The school itself has earned a 4-star rating and has climbed from the 44th percentile statewide in 2016-2017 to the 82nd percentile in 2025-2026, peaking at 87th percentile the year before—a strong upward trajectory that places it in the top 20% of Alabama middle schools.

What truly sets this school apart is its remarkable success with students from low socio-economic backgrounds. With over 60% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school ranks in the 91st percentile statewide for effectiveness with this group, earning a 5-star rating. This is an exceptional achievement. The school also boasts an incredibly low chronic absenteeism rate of just 2.0%—far below the district's 5.5% and the state's 12.0%—suggesting a strong culture of engagement. Another standout is 8th-grade performance: math proficiency jumps to 52.31% and science to 70.77%, both well above state averages. In fact, 8th-grade math proficiency is nearly double the state average (26.36%) and a dramatic leap from the same cohort's 7th-grade score of 22.41%, indicating a highly effective final-year program.

Compared to nearby schools, Geneva County shines in different ways. While Slocomb Middle School has a higher overall rank, Geneva County excels in 8th-grade math (52.31% vs. 32.99%) and has lower chronic absenteeism. The contrast with larger urban schools like Dothan Preparatory Academy and Dothan 6th Grade Center is stark—those schools struggle with absenteeism rates above 18% and math proficiency as low as 5.87%, while Geneva County's is 33.93%. Additionally, the school has shown a dramatic turnaround for special education students, climbing from the 21st to the 73rd percentile over four years. For parents, this is a school that delivers strong results, especially for students who need the most support.
