Best Public Schools in Letohatchee, AL

Summary:

The city of Letohatchee, Alabama has only one public high school, Calhoun High School, which serves grades 9-12 and has a total enrollment of 192 students. The school is part of the Lowndes County school district, which is ranked 122 out of 135 districts in the state of Alabama and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Calhoun High School does not appear to be a standout school, as it has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Alabama high schools in recent years, with a statewide ranking of 360 out of 374 schools in the 2024-2025 school year, 372 out of 378 schools in the 2023-2024 school year, and 338 out of 371 schools in the 2022-2023 school year. The school is rated 0 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating poor performance. While the school has a slightly above-average four-year graduation rate of 90.0%, it also has a higher-than-average dropout rate of 5.6% and a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 14.8% in the 2023-2024 school year.

Calhoun High School's academic performance, as measured by test scores, is significantly below the state and county averages in all subject areas (mathematics, science, and English) for the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 school years. Additionally, the school has a high free and reduced lunch rate of 96.35% in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $14,855 in the 2018-2019 school year, the school's academic outcomes remain poor, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be enough to improve the school's performance.
