Summary:
The city of Moundville, Alabama is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools serve students from the Hale County and Tuscaloosa County school districts.
Among the elementary schools, Big Sandy Elementary stands out as the highest performing, with test scores above the district and state averages in several subjects. In contrast, Moundville Elementary lags behind in academic performance. At the high school level, Hale County High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 90%, but struggles with low proficiency rates, particularly in math.
Across the district, the schools face challenges such as high chronic absenteeism rates, with all schools reporting 14.8% of students chronically absent. Additionally, a large percentage of students, ranging from 55-62%, receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the student population. While spending per student is generally in line with state averages, addressing these issues will be crucial for enhancing educational outcomes for students in the Moundville community.
