Summary:
The city of Eufaula, Alabama is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. While the district as a whole is underperforming compared to state averages, a few schools stand out. Eufaula High School ranks 171 out of 378 Alabama high schools and has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 90.0%. Moorer Middle School and Eufaula Elementary School also have higher test scores in Math, Science, and English compared to the district and state averages.
However, the majority of schools in the Eufaula City district are underperforming, with low rankings and ratings from SchoolDigger. This suggests a need for improvement in educational outcomes across the district. The high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 58.1% at Eufaula High School to 74.79% at Eufaula Elementary School, indicate that the district serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the overall underperformance.
Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, with all schools reporting a 14.8% chronic absenteeism rate in 2023-2024. This high rate of chronic absenteeism may be a factor in the low academic performance seen across the district. Despite these challenges, the data shows that there is potential for improvement, as evidenced by the standout performance of Eufaula High School, Moorer Middle School, and Eufaula Elementary School in certain areas. By identifying and learning from these higher-performing schools, the district may be able to implement strategies to raise the performance of all its schools and better serve the needs of its students.
