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, 56 points. That matches the F and 56 points on the 2023-24 card. Montgomery Public Schools as a whole earned a C, with 75 points. The state lists Capitol Heights Middle as a Comprehensive Support and Improvement School, a federal designation that brings a school improvement plan.
