Summary

Mobile County Training Middle School is a small school in Mobile, AL, serving 193 students in grades 6-8 within the Mobile County district. The school serves a community with significant economic need, as 94.3% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Academically, the school faces substantial challenges, particularly in mathematics. In the most recent school year, only about 1-2% of students in each grade level scored proficient in math, compared to state averages of 24-35%. This means that nearly all students are below grade level in this subject. English Language Arts performance is stronger by comparison, with roughly 23-32% of students meeting proficiency standards, though this still trails state averages of 55-58%. The school's overall ranking places it in the bottom 10% of Alabama middle schools. However, there are some positive signs. Chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from over 31% in 2022-2023 to just 4.3% in 2024-2025, which is now better than both the district and state averages. Additionally, 8th grade science scores jumped to 31.43% proficiency, a significant improvement over previous years.

When compared to nearby schools, the differences are stark. For example, Barton Academy For Advanced World Studies ranks in the 99th percentile statewide with 6th grade math proficiency at 75.79%, while Mobile County Training sits at the 6th percentile with just 1.85% proficiency. Even schools with similar poverty levels, like Calloway Smith Middle School (90.48% free/reduced lunch), achieve notably better outcomes, ranking in the 32nd percentile. Interestingly, Mobile County Training spends $16,619 per student—nearly double what Phillips Preparatory Middle School spends ($7,903)—yet academic results remain low. This suggests that while the school has made important progress in getting students to show up, translating that into academic gains remains the next critical step.
