Summary

Crossville High School is a public high school in Crossville, Alabama, serving 632 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the DeKalb County School District, which is ranked 78 out of 135 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crossville High School consistently performs below the state and county averages in academic assessments. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 11.66% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 16.56% in DeKalb County and 23.71% in the state. The school's graduation rates have also been fluctuating, ranging from 88.2% to 97.0% in recent years, which is on par with the state average but inconsistent compared to nearby schools like Guntersville High School and Gaston High School. Additionally, Crossville High School has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 14.5% to 26.2%, which is significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools.

Crossville High School's performance may be influenced by its higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 76.86% to 77.06% in recent years, compared to the nearby schools. The school's spending per student ($8,679 in 2018-2019) is also lower than the nearby schools, and it has a higher student-teacher ratio, which could impact the quality of instruction and personalized attention for students. While the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with relatively higher rankings for Hispanic and Native American students, the overall academic and engagement challenges at Crossville High School suggest the need for targeted interventions and additional resources to improve student outcomes.
