Summary

Hamilton Middle School is a public middle school in Hamilton, Alabama, serving 452 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Marion County School District, which is ranked 48 out of 135 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hamilton Middle School has consistently ranked in the top 20% of Alabama middle schools, with strong performance in English Language Arts, particularly for its Hispanic and low-socioeconomic status student subgroups. However, the school's mathematics performance is more mixed, and it faces challenges with higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates. The school's spending per student of $6,833 is lower than the state average, which may contribute to some of the academic challenges.

Compared to the nearby Winfield Middle School, which is part of the Winfield City School District, Hamilton Middle School consistently underperforms on state assessments, particularly in Mathematics. Winfield Middle School also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate and higher spending per student, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance. While Hamilton Middle School has notable strengths, addressing areas like chronic absenteeism and uneven mathematics performance could help the school continue to improve and better serve its diverse student population.
