Summary

Booker T Washington Middle School is a public middle school in Mobile, Alabama, serving 305 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Mobile County School District, which is ranked 94 out of 135 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Booker T Washington Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Alabama middle schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 378 and 430 out of around 430 middle schools in the state.

The school faces significant challenges in academic achievement, with students performing well below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 7.69% of 6th graders, 1.27% of 7th graders, and 8.82% of 8th graders were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 24.9% and 33.97% for Mobile County and Alabama, respectively. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.8% to 31.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Mobile County School District, such as Denton Magnet School of Technology, Phillips Preparatory Middle School, and Barton Academy for Advanced World Studies, significantly outperform Booker T Washington Middle School across all academic metrics. These magnet and specialized schools have much higher proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and higher rankings compared to Booker T Washington.
