Summary

Curry Middle School in Jasper, AL, serves 353 students in grades 5-8 as part of the Walker County school district, where about 55% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Curry Middle School shows a mixed picture of strengths and challenges. The school's biggest concern is chronic absenteeism, with 17.7% of students missing significant school time—a rate nearly 3.5 times higher than Oakman Middle School (2.6%) and Sumiton Middle School (5.3%), and well above the district average of 11%. This attendance issue may help explain why Bankhead Middle School, just 13 miles away with similar demographics and resources, ranks in the 86th percentile statewide while Curry sits at the 54th percentile. Bankhead's chronic absenteeism rate is only 5.3%, suggesting attendance is a critical lever for improvement. Mathematics performance is also volatile, with 7th grade math proficiency at just 12.16%—less than half the state average. However, there are bright spots: 8th grade science proficiency reached 60%, exceeding both district and state averages, and English Language Arts scores are competitive, with 5th and 7th grades exceeding state averages.

Curry demonstrates notable effectiveness with specific student groups. Students from low socioeconomic backgrounds consistently perform better than the school's overall ranking suggests, and Special Education students showed remarkable improvement, reaching the 73rd percentile statewide in 2024-2025 before regressing to the 50th percentile. The school spends $8,584 per student, more than Jasper Junior High School ($6,596), yet Jasper City students achieve significantly higher proficiency rates in math and science. For parents considering Curry, the school offers strong science and literacy instruction with dedicated support for certain student populations, but the persistent absenteeism and 7th grade math struggles are important factors to understand when evaluating the school's overall performance.
