Summary

Notasulga High School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Notasulga, Alabama, with 283 students and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's spending per student is higher than the nearby Auburn Junior High School, but it has faced significant challenges with graduation rates, chronic absenteeism, and academic performance.

Notasulga High has had 4-year graduation rates ranging from 74-90% in recent years, lower than the 90% rate at Auburn Junior High School. The school also struggles with very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.8% to 43.9%, significantly higher than the 14.8% rate at Auburn Junior High. Academically, Notasulga High students perform well below state and county averages on standardized tests across all subjects and grade levels.

The data suggests Notasulga High's challenges are likely linked to the socioeconomic status of its student population, with over 92% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the higher spending per student, the school's performance lags behind nearby Auburn Junior High School, which serves a less economically disadvantaged population. Addressing these issues will likely require a focused approach on improving graduation rates, reducing chronic absenteeism, and boosting academic achievement across all subject areas.
