SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 443 Alabama Middle Schools

Better than 3% of Alabama middle schools

Summary

Goodwyn Middle School in Montgomery, AL, serves 717 students in grades 6 through 8 and is part of the Montgomery County school district, which currently holds a 1-star rating. The school faces significant challenges, with 82% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch and a chronic absenteeism rate of 33.9%—nearly three times the state average. Academically, Goodwyn ranks in the bottom 3% of Alabama middle schools, earning a 0-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year.

Math proficiency is critically low across all grade levels, with just 6.45% of 6th graders, 1.4% of 7th graders, and 0% of 8th graders meeting state standards. English Language Arts performance is somewhat better but still well below state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 18% to 28% compared to state averages above 55%. The contrast with nearby schools is stark: Floyd Middle School, just 4 miles away, ranks in the 88th percentile with 59% math proficiency, while Baldwin Art And Academics Magnet ranks in the 94th percentile with 66% math proficiency. Both schools serve significantly more affluent populations, highlighting the achievement gap within the district.

There are some bright spots worth noting. English Language Learner students showed dramatic improvement in 2024-2025, ranking in the 62nd percentile before falling back the following year—suggesting that targeted interventions can work when consistently applied. The student-teacher ratio has also improved from 22.2 to 19.3. For parents considering this school, the data points to three key priorities: aggressive math intervention, a comprehensive attendance initiative, and sustained support for ELL and special education students. While the school's performance is concerning, the success with ELL students demonstrates that meaningful progress is possible with the right focus and resources.
