Middle Schools in Randolph County

There is only one middle school located in Randolph County, Alabama - Wedowee Middle School. This school serves students in grades 4-6 and provides insights into the academic performance and demographics of middle schools in this rural county.

Wedowee Middle School has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that is 63% White, 17% African American, 13% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of Asian, Native American, Pacific Islander, and multiracial students. However, the school's test scores in mathematics, science, and English language arts are generally lower than the Randolph County and Alabama state averages, particularly in mathematics. This suggests that the school may need to focus on improving its math instruction and support for students.

The school's high free/reduced lunch rate of 73% indicates that a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which can impact academic performance. Despite this, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.8 could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention and support for students. Overall, the school's 2-star rating from SchoolDigger suggests that there is room for improvement in the quality of education provided, and the school and district may need to identify and address the root causes of the lower test scores to enhance student outcomes.
