Hubbertville School, Fayette AL - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Hubbertville School

Hubbertville School is a regular public school in rural Fayette County, Alabama, covering prekindergarten through twelfth grade in a single building. It is one of several schools in the Fayette County district, but it sits apart from the county seat, serving a community that is more sparsely populated and agricultural in character. The enrollment is modest for a school that spans the full K-12 range, and the student body is overwhelmingly white, with a substantial share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price meals.

Academically, the school’s performance on the state’s Alabama ACAP assessments in the 2024-25 school year shows a clear grade-level pattern. In English language arts, early elementary students posted very high proficiency rates, with third graders performing especially well. That strength carried into fourth and fifth grades at a solid level, but the rates began to slip in middle school, with eighth graders near the midpoint of the proficiency scale. Math tells a different story. Third graders had a strong showing, but proficiency fell off sharply in fourth and fifth grades, and by sixth and seventh grade the rates were low. No eighth grader met the math proficiency standard. Science results were similarly split: fourth graders performed at a moderate level, while eighth graders had a very low proficiency rate. The multi-year trend data offers only a single year, so it is not possible to see whether these patterns are long-standing or a recent shift. Families considering the school may want to ask about math and science support in the upper elementary and middle grades, and about how the school addresses the apparent drop-off.

The school’s high school exists, but the data provided does not include a graduation rate, so it is unclear how many students complete the full program. That information is worth seeking directly from the school or district. No information about advanced coursework, career and technical pathways, or dual enrollment was available, which is a gap that families may need to investigate if they are looking for postsecondary preparation options.

The community context is the town of Fayette, the county seat, though the school itself is located on a county road outside the built-up area. Fayette is a small town that has experienced steady population decline over recent decades, and its economy relies on manufacturing, health care, and education. Housing is affordable, with home values well below state and national medians, and the town has invested in civic amenities such as parks and a renovated civic center. The district’s other schools are located within the city limits, which means Hubbertville families are likely making a choice to live in a more rural part of the county, perhaps for a smaller school environment or family ties to the area.

For a parent weighing Hubbertville, the academic picture is uneven. The early elementary years appear strong in reading, but the middle school math and science results are concerning and would warrant a close look at instructional support and curriculum. The school’s size and rural setting may appeal to those who want a tight-knit environment, but the absence of published information on high school graduation and program offerings limits the picture. A direct conversation with the school would be advisable to fill those gaps.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
