Summary:
The city of Jemison, Alabama is home to four schools: one elementary school, two middle schools, and one high school. These schools serve the Chilton County district and face a range of academic and socioeconomic challenges.
Jemison Elementary School stands out as a relatively high-performing school, ranking in the top 30% of Alabama elementary schools. However, the school's math proficiency rates are significantly below the Chilton County and Alabama averages. In contrast, Jemison High School has a relatively high graduation rate, but its academic performance is concerning, with only 15-18% of 11th graders proficient in core subjects.
Across the Jemison schools, there are common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income student population. The data suggests that the Jemison schools could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address these issues and improve student outcomes.
