Summary

Russellville Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Russellville, Alabama, part of the Russellville City School District. With 591 students, the school has consistently outperformed the state average in academic proficiency across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, 60.87% of 6th graders were proficient in English, compared to the state average of 56.81%.

Russellville Middle School stands out for its strong performance among traditionally underserved student subgroups, ranking in the top 50 in the state for African American, Hispanic, Native American, and English Language Learner students. This suggests the school is effectively meeting the needs of diverse learners. However, the school has a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 68.7% in 2023-2024, indicating significant economic challenges for its population.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Florence Middle School, Sheffield Junior High, and Muscle Shoals Middle School, Russellville Middle School performs well academically, particularly in English and Science. However, the school lags behind some of its neighbors in mathematics proficiency, which could be an area for improvement.
