Summary:
The 36250 zip code in Alabama is home to a single middle school, Alexandria Middle School, which serves grades 5-8. As the only middle school in the area, it is the primary educational option for families in this community.
Alexandria Middle School has a student enrollment of 494 and is ranked 116 out of 439 middle schools in Alabama, earning a 4 out of 5 star rating. The school's academic performance is mixed, with strong English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grades, but lower math proficiency, especially in 7th and 8th grades. Approximately 68% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic need among the student population. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.8% is also relatively high, which can negatively impact student learning.
Despite these challenges, Calhoun County school district, which oversees Alexandria Middle School, has made progress in recent years, with the school's statewide ranking improving from 167th out of 437 middle schools in 2022-2023 to 116th out of 439 in 2024-2025.
