Summary

Double Springs Middle School in Double Springs, AL, serves 176 students in grades 5-7 within the Winston County district, and has shown a strong upward trajectory in recent years, climbing from the 41st to the 68th percentile statewide.

One of the most impressive things about this school is its exceptional support for special education students, ranking in the 89th percentile statewide—a remarkable achievement that puts it in the top 11% of Alabama schools. The school also excels at getting kids to class, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 6.9%, far better than the state average of 12.0% and dramatically improved from 16.1% just three years ago. This is especially notable when compared to nearby Curry Middle School, which struggles with a 17.7% chronic absenteeism rate. Despite serving a population where 63% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, the school ranks in the 70th percentile for low socioeconomic status students, demonstrating a strong commitment to equity and helping all students succeed.

Academically, the school shows real strengths in English Language Arts, with 6th graders achieving 68.9% proficiency—well above the state's 56.8%. However, there's a noticeable dip in math performance between 6th and 7th grade, with 7th graders at 18.5% proficiency compared to 6th graders at 47.5%. This pattern has persisted across multiple years and may indicate a transition challenge worth investigating. When compared to Haleyville Middle School, which ranks slightly higher overall, Double Springs shows more variance in math but comparable ELA results. The school also demonstrates efficient resource use, spending less per student ($7,788) than nearby schools while achieving strong outcomes. With a favorable 14.4:1 student-teacher ratio and impressive momentum—including a nearly 30-percentile-point jump in male student achievement in just one year—Double Springs Middle School is clearly a school on the rise.
