Summary

Ashville Middle School serves 371 students in grades 5-8 in the town of Ashville, Alabama, as part of the St Clair County school district. The school holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 62nd percentile statewide, placing it solidly in the middle of Alabama middle schools.

The school's standout strength is mathematics in grades 7 and 8, where proficiency rates consistently exceed district and state averages by significant margins. In 8th grade math, 38.78% of students are proficient, compared to just 26.36% statewide—a 12-point advantage. This outperformance is especially notable when compared to nearby schools: Moody Junior High School posts only 19.79% proficiency in 8th grade math, while Odenville Middle School sits at just 10.43%. However, this math advantage doesn't extend to 5th grade, where proficiency falls below state averages, suggesting the school's math instruction becomes increasingly effective as students progress. English language arts performance is more mixed, generally hovering near or slightly below state averages. The school also deserves recognition for cutting chronic absenteeism dramatically—from 22.8% in 2022-2023 to just 8.2% in 2024-2025, now well below both district and state rates.

At $6,938 per student, Ashville Middle spends less than all comparable nearby schools, including Springville Middle School ($8,767) and Charles R Drew Middle School ($7,557), yet still achieves competitive results—a sign of efficient resource use. The school has also seen a dramatic demographic shift, with free/reduced lunch eligibility dropping from 77% to 54.7% in just two years. While Oneonta Middle School and Charles R Drew Middle School outperform Ashville overall, the school holds its own against most neighbors and offers particular value for families prioritizing strong math preparation in the upper middle grades.
