Seminole is a small country suburb sitting between Prichard and Semmes, two smaller cities just a short distance from Mobile. Settled in the 1830s and incorporated in 1925, Prichard is known as the "City of Champions." Meanwhile, Semmes has maintained a reputation as the nursery capital of the world due to its abundance of garden centers and nurseries selling beautiful ornamental shrubs like azaleas and camellias. Seminole residents enjoy the quiet, private country living the neighborhood provides, with ranch-style and Craftsman-style homes sitting on lots with plenty of acreage between them. Many homes are shielded from view by a wooded curtain of mature trees. Home prices in the area range from $135,000 to $250,000.
Children in the area attend Semmes Elementary School, with an overall Niche rating of B. Next, students attend Semmes Middle School. The school has over 1,500 students in grades six through eight, with a staff of approximately 120. Extracurricular programs like the National Junior Honor Society, the county-wide Spelling Bee, symphonic and jazz band or the school yearbook academically challenge students. Semmes Middle also offers various athletic programming for kids, including baseball, basketball, soccer and track. Mary G. Montgomery High School is named after Mrs. Mary Gillian Montgomery, a Mobile native who served Semmes as an educator from 1935 until she passed away in 1963. Teenagers in the area attend Mary G. Montgomery High, created in 1965 to replace Semmes High School. The school sits on sixty acres and includes classrooms, an auditorium, a gymnasium, a football stadium, baseball fields and weight rooms. Mary. G. Montgomery High has a B-minus overall Niche score.
The Semmes Regional Library is just west of Seminole. Locals can check out the latest cozy mystery novel and immerse themselves in its twists and turns from a park bench at Semmes Municipal Park. Of course, there's much more to do than read at the expansive park. Kids can escape the Alabama heat at the fun and colorful splash pad, while local anglers can enjoy a day of catch-and-release fishing at the park's pond. "The Admiral" Disc Golf course can also be found within the Municipal Park. John Houck, the premier master designer for disc golf in the country, designed the championship disc golf course. Thousands of regional and national players use the course each year, with professional PDGA Tournaments held here throughout the year. The Admiral course is a par 65 with three sets of tees to accommodate all skill levels. Two ponds are incorporated into its design, while subtle topography changes come into play, making the course more complex. Of course, a relaxing day of neighborly barbeques is always on the table, with three pavilions featuring grills and seating areas.
Mary's Restaurant & Lounge is the area's dive bar, featuring all the usual suspects: pool tables, string lights, neon beer signs, karaoke and boisterous but friendly regulars. Also nearby is the family-owned Semmes House of Pizza. This eatery has served the community cheesy slices of goodness for over a decade. For retail therapy, there's a nearby Ollie's Bargain Outlet. Those with an eye for antiques and kitschy knick-knacks can explore Fancy Finds on the Corner, a hidden gem filled with old furniture, art and other odds and ends. When locals want to branch out, downtown Mobile's attractions are just a stone's throw away.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
