Summary

Moulton Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in Moulton, Alabama, with 495 students. It is part of the Lawrence County School District, which is ranked 95 out of 135 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Moulton Middle School has also received a 2-star rating, indicating it is performing below average compared to other middle schools in Alabama.

Moulton Middle School faces significant challenges, including consistently underperforming the state and county averages on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 24.11% of 5th graders were proficient or better in math, compared to 39.31% statewide. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.0% to 18.4% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, a large majority of Moulton Middle School students, around 65%, qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high rate of economic disadvantage that likely contributes to the school's academic challenges.

While Moulton Middle School's performance is generally lower than the nearby East Lawrence Middle School, which is also in the Lawrence County district, the school does show some strengths in supporting certain student subgroups. Moulton Middle School ranks highly for Native American students and African American students, suggesting it may be doing a better job of supporting these populations compared to the state average. However, the school's performance for special education and low-socioeconomic status students is still well below the state averages, indicating these students may need additional support.
