Summary

Moody Junior High School serves 373 students in grades 7-8 in Moody, AL, as part of the St Clair County district, and has seen its statewide ranking decline from a 4-star rating (79th percentile) in 2017-2018 to a 2-star rating (48th percentile) today.

For parents, the most important thing to know is that math is the school's biggest challenge. Only about 20% of 7th and 8th graders scored proficient in math in 2025-2026, below state averages of roughly 25-26%. This has been a persistent weakness for four straight years. The drop is especially noticeable when you look at the transition from Moody Middle School (grades 4-6), where 6th graders hit 42.5% math proficiency—meaning scores fall by half when students enter junior high. By comparison, Springville Middle School, in the same district, maintains 4-star ratings with 8th grade math proficiency nearly double Moody's (39.7% vs. 19.8%). The good news? Science is a bright spot—8th grade science proficiency (54%) now meets state averages and has improved dramatically from 37% two years ago. English scores are also competitive, hovering near state averages at around 52% proficiency.

There are some encouraging signs. Chronic absenteeism has dropped from 18% to 9.5%—now better than both the district and state averages. The school also outperforms Odenville Middle School (31st percentile) in the same district. However, per-student spending of $7,058 is the lowest among comparable schools, well below Leeds Middle School ($10,345) and Hewitt-Trussville Middle School ($8,729). The contrast with Hewitt-Trussville (92nd percentile, 5 stars) is stark—they achieve more than double Moody's math proficiency rates. While socioeconomic factors play a role (45% of Moody students qualify for free/reduced lunch vs. 16% at Hewitt-Trussville), the school's success in reducing absenteeism and improving science shows it can make positive changes when focused efforts are applied.
