ACS Celebrates Growth on 2025 Alabama State Report Card

Albertville City Schools is proud to share this year’s Alabama State Report Card results and to celebrate the incredible progress happening across the district. Over the past two years, schools in Albertville have demonstrated consistent and significant academic growth. 

“We are so proud of our students, teachers, staff and school leaders across the district. Their hard work, focus and commitment to growth are making a real difference for every student. These results show that Albertville City Schools is moving the academic needle, and we will continue building on this momentum,” said Albertville Superintendent Dr. Bart Reeves. 

Over the last two years, our schools have made impressive gains:

• Albertville Kindergarten and Pre-K - up nine points to an 88. 
• Albertville Primary School - up seven points to an 89. 
• Albertville Elementary School - up seven points to an 89. 
• Albertville Intermediate School - up six points to an 85. 
• Albertville Middle School - up four points to an 80. 
• Albertville High School - remained steady at a 74, with intentional steps already underway to continue moving forward. 

Districtwide, ACS saw an overall score increase of four points to an 87, which reflects the district's continued focus on student growth, great instruction and strong leadership at every school.

ACS remains fully transparent regarding Albertville Innovation Academy’s score. Because AIA is a new school, there were variables that were not included in this year’s report card. The district requested a waiver from the Alabama State Department of Education to account for this, but it was not approved.

As a result, academic achievement and chronic absenteeism were each counted at a higher percentage, while two key indicators — graduation rate and college/career readiness, both at 98% — were not included in this year’s calculation.

This led to a score of 54, which does not accurately reflect the outstanding work taking place at AIA. Those measures will be included in next year’s report card, and ACS anticipates that the score will be closer to a 75 once all indicators are represented.

“Wonderful things are taking place at AIA,” said Dr. Reeves. “We are proud of our students and teachers and can’t wait to see next year’s report card more accurately reflect the incredible work happening there every day.”
