Summary:
The city of Alpine, Alabama has only one high school, Winterboro High School, which serves grades 6-12 and is part of the Talladega County school district. While Winterboro High School has a higher-than-average graduation rate, it consistently underperforms compared to district and state averages on standardized tests and other key metrics, suggesting the school faces significant challenges in student achievement and academic outcomes.
Winterboro High School has a total enrollment of 307 students, with a high percentage (85.67%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's performance on standardized tests is generally below the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with only 3.51% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in math, compared to 14.54% in the district and 23.71% statewide. Additionally, the school has a relatively high dropout rate of 5.4% and a chronic absenteeism rate of 14.8%, both of which are higher than the state average.
Despite the school's challenges, it spends $13,197 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a student-teacher ratio of 19:1, slightly higher than the state average. This suggests that the district is investing resources in the school, but these investments do not appear to be translating into significantly improved academic outcomes for the students. Overall, Winterboro High School is a struggling school that faces significant challenges in terms of student achievement and academic performance, and may require additional support and interventions to help improve outcomes for its students.
