Summary

West Morgan Middle School in Trinity, AL, serves 561 students in grades 4 through 8 and is part of the Morgan County school district. The school has made remarkable strides recently, jumping to the 64th percentile statewide (a 3-star rating) for the 2025-2026 school year—its highest ranking in a decade and a dramatic improvement from the 48th percentile just a year prior.

One of the most impressive stories at West Morgan is its success with students who are learning English. The school ranks in the 74th percentile statewide for English Language Learner performance, a standout achievement that has helped drive overall gains. Hispanic students also saw a massive leap, moving from the 32nd to the 62nd percentile in a single year. White students similarly improved from the 50th to the 74th percentile. Perhaps most telling is the school's chronic absenteeism rate of just 2.5%—far below the state average of 12%—which signals strong student engagement. Test data also reveals a powerful "value-add" pattern: while 4th graders enter below state averages, by 5th grade they score above state averages in both math and English, suggesting the school has effective intervention systems that accelerate learning quickly.

Compared to nearby schools, West Morgan is outperforming expectations given its resources. It ranks higher than Danville Middle School (47th percentile) and significantly outpaces Austin Middle School (41st percentile), which serves a similar demographic just 3.76 miles away. Notably, West Morgan achieves these results while spending less per student ($5,994) than many peers. The one area of concern is Special Education, where performance ranks in the 19th percentile and has been declining. Addressing this will be key to ensuring the school's upward trajectory continues for every student group.
