Summary

Bellingrath Middle School in Montgomery, AL, serves 583 students in grades 6 through 8 and is part of the Montgomery County school district.

Bellingrath faces significant academic challenges, with state assessment scores placing it in the bottom 1-2% of Alabama middle schools for the past decade. Math proficiency is particularly low—for example, only 0.57% of 7th graders and 1.62% of 8th graders met proficiency standards in the most recent school year, compared to state averages of 24.46% and 26.36% respectively. The school also struggles with chronic absenteeism, with 47.4% of students missing significant school time—a rate nearly double the district average and more than three times higher than at nearby McKee Middle School (13.6%). About 87.5% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting the economic challenges many families face.

Despite these hurdles, there are some encouraging signs. Eighth-grade science proficiency jumped from 5.38% to 17.03% in one year, suggesting a possible area of instructional strength. Additionally, English Language Learner students at Bellingrath ranked in the 41st percentile statewide—a notable bright spot compared to the school's overall ranking. The contrast with nearby schools is stark: Floyd Middle School, less than a mile away, ranks in the 88th percentile, while Baldwin Art And Academics Magnet ranks in the 94th percentile. These differences highlight how school resources and programs can dramatically impact outcomes, even within the same community. For parents considering Bellingrath, it's important to understand both the significant academic challenges and the pockets of progress that suggest potential for improvement.
