State report card
Alabama grades every public school from A to F each year. The grade comes from a 100-point score 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), progress in English language proficiency and, for high schools, graduation rate and college and career readiness, according to the Alabama State Department of Education’s report card rules.
2024-25 grade: F, 52 points. That compares with an F and 51 points on the 2023-24 card. Montgomery Public Schools as a whole earned a C, with 75 points. The state lists Bellingrath Middle as a Comprehensive Support and Improvement School, a federal designation that brings a school improvement plan.
| Indicator | 2024-25 score |
|---|---|
| Academic achievement (ELA and math tests) | 27.98 |
| Academic growth | 78.42 |
| Progress in English language proficiency | 16.87 |
| Chronic absenteeism (lower is better) | 47.46% of students |

Attendance zone
Check an address with the district’s school zone search, which Montgomery Public Schools links from its home page. Zones do not follow the city limits; the Town of Pike Road runs its own school system, Pike Road City Schools, and the tool flags Pike Road addresses. In the zone search, the Montgomery addresses zoned for Bellingrath Middle fall in the elementary zones of Dannelly Elementary, Davis Elementary and Nixon Elementary and in the high school zones of Carver High and JAG High. We checked about 1,640 points across the Montgomery city limits in the tool on Oct. 17, 2026; zones can split streets, so check your own address.
Because Bellingrath Middle is a conversion charter school, families who live in its attendance zone may opt out and enroll in a traditional Montgomery public school instead; the district suggests McKee Middle or Goodwyn Middle, according to its charter schools page. The district’s Director of Strategy and Innovation, Marsha Horton, handles opt-outs at 334-223-6927.
