Summary

Slocomb Middle School serves 265 students in grades 6-8 in the small town of Slocomb, Alabama, and has built a strong reputation as one of the top-performing middle schools in the state, currently ranking 56th out of 443 Alabama middle schools with a 4-star rating.

What really sets Slocomb Middle apart is its exceptional performance in math and science. In 6th grade math, nearly 64% of students scored proficient—almost double the state average of 35%—and the school has consistently outpaced state averages in this subject for years. Science achievement is equally impressive, with 73% of 8th graders scoring proficient compared to 54% statewide. The school also boasts an extraordinarily low chronic absenteeism rate of just 2.3%, far below the state average of 12%, which likely plays a big role in its academic success. This is especially notable when compared to nearby schools like Dothan Preparatory Academy, where chronic absenteeism exceeds 23%. Slocomb Middle also excels at serving students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds—55% of its students qualify for free/reduced lunch—yet these students rank in the 95th percentile statewide, a remarkable achievement.

While math and science are clear strengths, English Language Arts performance is more moderate, though 8th grade reading scores are a bright spot at 76% proficiency, well above the state average. One pattern worth noting is that math proficiency tends to decline as students advance—6th graders perform exceptionally well, but by 8th grade scores drop to 33%. When compared to its sister school, Geneva County Middle School, Slocomb ranks higher overall (56th vs. 80th) and dramatically outperforms in 6th grade math, though Geneva County Middle actually edges ahead in 6th grade English and 8th grade math. Slocomb Middle also achieves these results while spending less per student ($7,865) than several nearby schools, including Rehobeth Middle School and Dothan 6th Grade Center. With a decade of consistent top-tier rankings and a clear upward trajectory, Slocomb Middle stands out as a reliable, high-quality choice for families in the Geneva County district.
