The schools also face challenges related to attendance and economic disadvantage. Both Choctaw County Elementary and Choctaw County High School have high chronic absenteeism rates, with 14.8% of students chronically absent at each school. Additionally, a large percentage of students at both schools are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. These factors may contribute to the overall underperformance of the schools and suggest the need for targeted interventions to address the unique challenges faced by the Butler, Alabama community.
