Summary

Moores Mill Intermediate School in New Market, AL, serves 675 students in grades 3 through 5 and is part of the Madison County school district, which ranks in the top 25% of Alabama districts.

Moores Mill has a strong history—it was a top-100 school in the state for most of the past decade, peaking at a 5-star rating in 2018-2019. However, the most recent data shows a notable decline, with the school now ranked 225th out of 686 schools (3 stars). This drop is driven largely by a significant fall in performance among students from low socio-economic backgrounds, whose ranking plummeted from the 79th percentile to the 46th percentile in just two years. Math scores have also declined across all grade levels, while English scores remain a relative strength—5th-grade reading proficiency (79%) outpaces all nearby Madison County schools. One bright spot: the school continues to perform exceptionally well with specific student subgroups, ranking #1 in the state for Native American students for three straight years and in the 95th percentile for Hispanic students.

Parents should also note some operational differences. Moores Mill has a higher student-to-teacher ratio (22.5) than any nearby school—for comparison, Lynn Fanning Elementary has a ratio of 17.1—and its per-student spending ($8,434) is the lowest among its peers. Chronic absenteeism has tripled in two years, jumping from 3.9% to 12.2%, though it remains slightly below the district average. When compared to nearby schools, Moores Mill outperforms Lakewood Elementary, Martin Luther King Junior Elementary, and Rolling Hills Elementary in the Huntsville City district, but trails Academy For Science Foreign Language. Its 5th-grade math scores are comparable to Hazel Green Elementary but lower than New Market School.
