Summary

Highland Home School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Highland Home, Alabama, with a student population of 764. While the school has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 90-94%, it faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, ranging from 15-33% in recent years, and underperforms on standardized test scores compared to the Crenshaw County and Alabama state averages.

Highland Home School's test scores are generally lower than the nearby Luverne High School, which serves a similarly high-needs student population. For example, in 11th grade math, only 6-20% of Highland Home students scored proficient or better, compared to 12-24% for Crenshaw County and 23-24% for the state. The school's student-teacher ratio of 14-18 is also higher than Luverne High School's ratio of 15.3, which could be a contributing factor to the academic performance gap.

While Highland Home School faces challenges, the data suggests there are opportunities for improvement. The school could focus on addressing chronic absenteeism, providing more individualized support for struggling students, and aligning curriculum and instruction to state standards to boost academic achievement. As an alternative school, Highland Home may also face unique challenges in serving its student population, and understanding these factors could provide important context for the school's performance.
