Summary

ClayChalkville High School is a public high school in Pinson, Alabama, serving 1,388 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Jefferson County School District, which is ranked 101 out of 135 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

ClayChalkville High School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Alabama high schools, with academic performance significantly below state and county averages across all subject areas. The school struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population, with subgroup rankings also in the bottom half or quarter of Alabama high schools. While the school's four-year graduation rate is relatively stable, ranging from 85.3% to 90.6% over the past five years, it is still slightly below state and county averages. Additionally, ClayChalkville High School has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 14.8% to 30.7% over the past five years.

When compared to nearby schools within the Jefferson County School District, such as Shades Valley High School and Pinson Valley High School, ClayChalkville High School is underperforming. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 55.55% to 55.65% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past three years, likely contributes to its academic challenges. While the student-teacher ratio has improved, the school's per-student spending is lower than the state average, which may limit its ability to provide comprehensive support and resources for its students.

A lot of fights and rude kids at this school. School is too big to have any control of the kids. Close Quote
