Summary

Carr Middle School is a public middle school in Montgomery, Alabama, serving 725 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Montgomery County School District, which is ranked 109 out of 135 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Carr Middle School has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Alabama middle schools, with a 1-star rating as well.

Carr Middle School faces significant challenges in academic performance, with consistently low standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects compared to state and county averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 17.11% of 6th graders, 11.36% of 7th graders, and 10.74% of 8th graders were proficient or better in Mathematics, far below the state averages. The school also has high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 17.9% to 28.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Carr Middle School has a high percentage of students (57.52% in 2023-2024) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high proportion of students from low-income families.

Compared to nearby schools in the Montgomery County School District, such as Bellingrath Middle School, Baldwin Art and Academics Magnet, and Floyd Middle School, Carr Middle School's performance is generally lower. The two magnet schools in the area, Baldwin Art and Academics Magnet and Floyd Middle School, significantly outperform Carr Middle School and the district average in academic achievement. Addressing the socioeconomic challenges and implementing targeted interventions to support underperforming student subgroups may be crucial for improving Carr Middle School's overall outcomes.
