State report card
Alabama grades every public school from A to F each year. For an elementary school the 100-point score is built from students’ achievement and growth on state tests in English language arts and math, chronic absenteeism (the share of students who missed 18 or more days) and progress in English language proficiency, according to the Alabama State Department of Education’s report card rules.
2024-25 grade: A, 96 points. The 2023-24 card also gave Midtown an A with 96 points.
| Indicator | 2024-25 score |
|---|---|
| Academic achievement (ELA and math tests) | 93.57 |
| Academic growth | 100 |
| Chronic absenteeism (lower is better) | 8.38% of students |
