Summary

Corner Middle School in Warrior, AL, serves 437 students in grades 5 through 8 as part of the Jefferson County school district. The school currently holds a 2-star rating, ranking 225th out of 443 Alabama middle schools—a significant drop from last year's 3-star, 146th-place finish.

Corner Middle School shows clear strengths in English Language Arts, consistently beating both district and state averages in 5th, 6th, and 7th grades. Science is another standout, with 8th graders achieving 61.82% proficiency—well above the state average of 54.12%. The school also excels with special education students, ranking in the 70th percentile statewide. However, math presents a serious challenge. While 5th graders score above state averages (45.92% vs. 39.06%), proficiency plummets in 6th grade to just 21.21%, and continues declining to 12.71% in 7th and 13.64% in 8th grade—all far below state averages. This "math cliff" between 5th and 6th grade is the school's most pressing academic issue. Compared to nearby schools, Corner outperforms Erwin Middle School, Rudd Middle School, and Minor Middle School in 6th-grade math, but trails North Jefferson Middle School and Bragg Middle School.

On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically, dropping from 25.7% to 13.8% over three years—now better than the district average. The school also spends less per student ($8,519) than nearby schools like Erwin ($10,618) while achieving better outcomes, suggesting efficient resource use. However, the overall downward trend in state ranking over the past decade, combined with a widening gender gap (females rank 53rd percentile vs. males at 42nd), indicates areas needing attention. With improving attendance and a decreasing poverty rate, Corner Middle School has a foundation to build on, but reversing the math decline and stabilizing overall performance will be critical for future success.

As a parent of two students who attended CMS, I consider our family blessed to be part of the CMS family. The faculty, staff, and administration goes above and beyond to ensure each student has a successful year. Their love for the students, school, and community is reflected in all they do. Close Quote
