Summary

Munford Middle School serves 308 students in grades 6-8 in the small town of Munford, Alabama, as part of the Talladega County school district. The school has a solid foundation with excellent attendance—only 10.3% of students are chronically absent, which is better than both the district and state averages—and shows genuine strengths in science and 8th-grade English, where proficiency rates exceed state benchmarks.

However, math achievement is a significant concern, particularly in 7th grade where only 9.09% of students scored proficient in 2025-2026, compared to 24.46% statewide. This represents a dramatic "cliff" from 6th grade (23.58% proficiency) before recovering somewhat in 8th grade (27.27%). The school also shows considerable year-to-year score volatility, with swings of 20-28 percentage points in some subjects, which may reflect small class sizes. When compared to Charles R Drew Middle School—just 11.6 miles away in the same district and serving a similar student population—Munford trails significantly in math (Drew's 7th-grade math proficiency is 47.62%) and overall rankings, suggesting room for improvement in instructional strategies.

On a positive note, the school has shown promising progress in supporting African American students, whose performance jumped from the 32nd to 62nd percentile over two years. The school also spends less per student ($7,438) than nearby schools like Oxford Middle School ($10,003) and maintains a higher student-teacher ratio (22:1), which may impact individualized attention. While the school's overall ranking has dipped to the 49th percentile (2 stars), its strong attendance, science instruction, and recent improvements in several areas provide a solid base for addressing the math challenges ahead.
