Summary:
The city of Opp, Alabama, is served by four schools—Opp Elementary School, Opp Middle School, Opp High School, and Fleeta School—which together enroll about 1,492 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, with the three Opp City schools forming a highly rated district and Fleeta School belonging to the Covington County district.
For parents, the standout choice is Opp Elementary School, which ranks in the 87th percentile statewide and shows exceptional results—3rd graders hit 87.91% proficiency in English and 72.53% in math, both far above state averages, and 4th grade science jumped 25 points in one year. Opp High School is also strong, ranking in the 82nd percentile with a 94.3% graduation rate and solid 11th grade math (45.56%) and science (51.11%) scores, though its 11th grade English proficiency (28.89%) trails the state. The weak link in the Opp City chain is Opp Middle School, which ranks in the 69th percentile; while 6th and 8th grade math beat state averages, 7th grade math (18.68%) and 5th grade English (68.69%) fall short, suggesting a transition dip. Fleeta School is the most challenged, ranking in the 48th percentile with math proficiency as low as 18.52% in 4th grade, though its 3rd grade English (78.26%) is a bright spot and it has the lowest chronic absenteeism (8%) despite the highest poverty rate.
Notably, Fleeta School underperforms its own Covington County district averages significantly, while Opp High School spends $12,597 per student—about 33% more than the middle school—yet still struggles with English. Chronic absenteeism is highest at Opp High (19%) despite its lower poverty rate, while Fleeta’s low absenteeism suggests engagement strategies matter more than income. Overall, the Opp City district earns a 4-star rating, but parents should watch the middle school years and high school literacy as areas needing attention.
