Summary

Stevenson Middle School serves 235 students in grades 5-8 in the small town of Stevenson, Alabama, within the Jackson County school district.

Stevenson Middle School has a few standout strengths that make it worth a closer look. Most notably, the school has achieved remarkable success with Native American students, ranking #1 out of 66 schools statewide for this group in 2024-2025—a consistent pattern of excellence over several years. The school also performs well with Hispanic students, consistently earning 4-star ratings. Additionally, 5th graders arrive at middle school with strong foundational skills, scoring well above state averages in math (47.95% proficiency vs. 39.06% statewide). The school also maintains excellent attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 10.8% that beats both the district (12.7%) and state (12.0%) averages, despite serving a student body where roughly two-thirds qualify for free or reduced lunch.

However, there are some concerning trends that parents should be aware of. The school's overall ranking dropped significantly to the 38th percentile in 2025-2026, its lowest point in three years. This decline is driven largely by challenges in upper-grade math—8th graders scored just 12.07% proficient compared to 26.36% statewide—and a steep drop in outcomes for White students, who fell from the 50th to the 12th percentile in just one year. When compared to Bridgeport Middle School, just 8.81 miles away in the same district, the gap is stark: Bridgeport ranks in the 79th percentile and achieves 57.14% math proficiency in 8th grade versus Stevenson's 12.07%. Bridgeport also spends significantly more per student ($15,280 vs. $8,766), which may be a factor worth investigating.

For parents, the picture is mixed. Stevenson excels at welcoming and educating diverse learners and building strong attendance habits, but the school struggles to maintain academic momentum through the middle grades. The volatility in year-to-year scores suggests that individual class cohorts can dramatically shift results, making it difficult to predict how any given year will go. If you're considering this school, it's worth asking about the upper-grade math curriculum and how the school plans to address the recent decline in outcomes for specific student groups.
