Summary:
The city of Eutaw, Alabama is home to 3 public schools - 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. Overall, the schools in Eutaw struggle to meet state performance standards, with all three ranking in the bottom quartile of Alabama schools. The one bright spot is Eutaw Primary School, which has stronger 3rd grade math and English proficiency compared to county and state averages, though the school still has room for improvement.
The schools in Eutaw face significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 14.8% to 14.8%, well above the state average. Additionally, the schools serve a student population with very high rates of economic disadvantage, with 83.33% to 90.27% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas are well below state averages, with 8th grade math proficiency at Robert Brown Middle School reaching only 3.13%, compared to the state average of 24.53%.
To improve outcomes, the Greene County school district will need to implement targeted interventions to address the root causes of low achievement, such as strategies to improve attendance, provide additional academic support, and engage with the broader community. The lack of improvement over time at Robert Brown Middle School and Greene County High School suggests the need for a more comprehensive, long-term approach to school improvement.
