Middle Schools in Midfield City

There is only one middle school located in Midfield City, Alabama - Rutledge School. This school serves students in grades 5-8 and has consistently underperformed compared to other middle schools in the state, ranking in the bottom quartile and receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three years.

Rutledge School faces significant challenges, with mathematics and science proficiency rates well below the state average. Only 9.64% of students are proficient in math, and just 11.54% are proficient in 8th grade science, compared to state averages of 38.67%. The school also serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with 92.06% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high poverty rate may contribute to the school's academic struggles and the need for additional resources and support.

Despite the school's low performance, there are some positive signs. English proficiency rates, while still below the state average, range from 21.69% to 29.87% proficient across grades 5-8. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 18:1, which could indicate a focus on providing personalized attention to students. However, the consistently low academic achievement and the significant achievement gaps suggest that Rutledge School has substantial room for improvement in delivering a quality education to its students.
