Elementary Schools in Midfield City

There is only one elementary school located in Midfield City, Alabama - Midfield Elementary School. Serving grades K-5, Midfield Elementary has an enrollment of 390 students, the majority of whom are African American (86.41%) and come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds (84.36% receive free or reduced-price lunch).

Despite higher per-student funding than the state average, Midfield Elementary's academic performance is significantly below state benchmarks across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in 3rd grade math, only 8.33% of Midfield students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 42.16%. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Alabama elementary schools over the past 3 years, indicating a need for substantial interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

Potential factors contributing to Midfield Elementary's low performance include challenges associated with serving a high-poverty student population, issues with the school's curriculum or instructional practices, and broader systemic challenges within the Midfield City school district or Alabama's education system. Further analysis would be needed to identify the root causes and develop targeted strategies to help the school better serve its students and community.
