Summary

Carr Middle School in Montgomery, AL, serves 774 students in grades 6 through 8 and is part of the Montgomery County School District, which ranks in the bottom 20% of Alabama districts.

The most impressive thing about Carr Middle is its work with English Language Learners. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 8th out of 117 schools statewide for ELL performance—a remarkable 93rd percentile achievement. This is a clear strength that stands out even though the school's overall state ranking sits around the 28th percentile. Carr also shows relative strength in 8th-grade Science, where 44.62% of students were proficient, beating the district average by nearly 9 points. English Language Arts is another area where Carr outperforms its district peers, with 48.16% of 8th graders proficient compared to the district's 38.37%. However, math is a significant weakness—only 7.93% of 7th graders were proficient in math, compared to the state average of 24.46%. Chronic absenteeism is also a major challenge, with 20.1% of students missing substantial instructional time, nearly double the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, Carr sits in the middle of a wide spectrum. Baldwin Art And Academics Magnet (94th percentile) and Floyd Middle School (88th percentile) are top performers with much lower absenteeism rates. At the other end, Bellingrath Middle School (1st percentile) and Goodwyn Middle School (3rd percentile) struggle significantly. Carr's 28th percentile ranking places it above these schools but far behind the magnets. One notable contrast: while ELL students thrive at the 93rd percentile, Special Education students perform at just the 16th percentile—a stark gap that suggests the school's successful ELL strategies could be a model for other areas. The school has shown slight improvement in its overall ranking over the past two years, moving from the 23rd to the 28th percentile.
