Summary

Duncanville Middle School serves 460 students in grades 6-8 in the Tuscaloosa County school district, located in the moderate-income community of Duncanville, AL, about 11 miles from Tuscaloosa.

Duncanville Middle is a solid mid-tier school in Alabama, currently holding a 3-star rating and ranking in the 51st percentile statewide. Its biggest academic strength is science, where 8th graders consistently outperform the district average by 8-15 percentage points each year. The school also shows strong results in English Language Arts, with 7th and 8th grade proficiency rates at or near state averages. However, math remains a significant concern—especially in 7th grade, where only 17.58% of students scored proficient, well below the state average. The school has made impressive strides in reducing chronic absenteeism, cutting it from 16.1% to 8.9% in just two years, which is now better than both district and state averages. Another notable strength is special education support, with the school jumping from the 48th to 77th percentile in serving these students in a single year. One persistent equity issue is the gender gap: female students perform at the 66th percentile statewide while male students rank at just the 38th percentile—a gap that has remained steady for three years.

Compared to nearby schools, Duncanville is the second-highest ranked middle school in its district, trailing only Echols Middle School. It significantly outperforms its closest geographic neighbors, Hillcrest Middle School (23rd percentile) and Davis-Emerson Middle School (12th percentile), despite serving similar demographics. The school also achieves better results than Westlawn Middle School, which spends significantly more per student. However, it trails higher-resourced city schools like Northridge Middle School, which has a lower student-teacher ratio (15.8:1 vs. 21.9:1) and higher proficiency rates across all subjects. While Duncanville's overall demographics have shifted toward more affluence recently, the school's performance with low-income students has declined, suggesting that supporting its remaining economically disadvantaged population should be a priority.
