Summary

Wilcox Central High School is a public high school located in Camden, Alabama, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 352 students. The school is part of the Wilcox County School District, which is ranked 125 out of 135 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wilcox Central High School consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Alabama high schools based on the SchoolDigger statewide ranking, with a 0-star rating in most years. The school's proficiency rates in Summative Assessments for 11th-grade students are significantly lower than the state averages in mathematics (5.06% vs. 23.71%), science (8.86% vs. 32.38%), and English (6.67% vs. 30.24%). Similarly, the school's performance on End of Course assessments for 11th-grade students is well below the state averages in mathematics (3.16% vs. 23.55%), science (3.16% vs. 31.7%), and English (9.68% vs. 29.56%). The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 75.5% and 90.0% in recent years, which is generally lower than the state average, and its dropout rate has ranged from 5.4% to 6.1%, which is higher than the state average.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $11,539 in the 2018-2019 school year and a lower student-teacher ratio than the state average, Wilcox Central High School has not been able to translate these resources into improved academic performance. The school's challenges span multiple subject areas, suggesting a need for a comprehensive approach to improving educational outcomes. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism, which has ranged from 14.8% to 49.7% in recent years, should also be a key focus for the school and district.
