Summary

Moody High School is a public high school in Moody, AL, serving 708 students in grades 9-12 within the St Clair County district. This 4-star school has earned a strong reputation for academic achievement, ranking in the 82nd percentile statewide—a significant jump from just a few years ago.

What really sets Moody apart is its consistent excellence in science. In 11th-grade science, 46.1% of students are proficient, beating both the district (38.28%) and state (36.17%) averages. The school also boasts a 92.5% graduation rate, well above the district's 85.7%, and has dramatically reduced chronic absenteeism from 18.3% to just 6.3% in two years—less than half the state average. Math scores have rebounded strongly after a dip, now at 31.91% proficiency, outpacing the state's 27.21%. When compared to nearby urban schools like Pinson Valley High School, Center Point High School, and Huffman High SchoolMagnet, Moody's proficiency rates are often 3 to 10 times higher, making it a clear standout for families seeking quality education in the region.

Within its own district, Moody outperforms Saint Clair County High School by wide margins in math, science, and graduation rates, though it trails the elite Springville High School (5-star, 94th percentile). For families considering the absolute top academic option nearby, HewittTrussville High School ranks in the 98th percentile with roughly double the proficiency rates, but Moody offers a very strong, well-rounded alternative with a more diverse student body and a lower free/reduced lunch rate (36.3%) than many neighbors like Pell City High School (55.24%) or Leeds High School (46.79%). For most families, Moody represents an excellent balance of strong academics, high graduation rates, and a supportive environment.
