Summary

Vincent Middle High School serves 447 students in grades 6-12 in the small community of Vincent, Alabama, within the Shelby County district, where about 70% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school has experienced one of the most dramatic turnarounds in the area. In just four years, its statewide ranking jumped from the 16th percentile (1 star) in 2021-2022 to the 72nd percentile (4 stars) in 2025-2026—a remarkable 56-point climb. While Chelsea High School, just 15 miles away, consistently ranks in the top 5% statewide, Vincent's improvement is unmatched among its peers. The school now outperforms similar schools like Winterboro High School and Childersburg High School in nearly every subject. Science is a particular strength—8th grade proficiency (63.49%) exceeds the state average (54.12%), and 11th grade science proficiency has more than doubled in three years to 46.43%. The school also maintains a favorable 11.4:1 student-teacher ratio, much lower than Moody High School (19.4:1) or BB Comer Memorial High School (19.6:1), allowing for more individualized attention.

The most significant challenge is chronic absenteeism, which sits at 22.8%—more than double the district average of 11.0%. This has been a persistent issue, yet the students who do attend are performing increasingly well. Math remains the weakest subject, though 11th grade proficiency has improved from 9.52% to 26.79% in three years. The graduation rate is a bright spot at 91.4%, nearly matching the state average despite the high poverty rate. With per-student spending of $14,092—the highest among nearby schools—the district is clearly investing in this school's success. If absenteeism can be addressed, Vincent's upward trajectory could accelerate even further.
