Summary:
The city of Prichard, Alabama is home to 4 schools - 3 elementary schools (WD Robbins Elementary, Whitley Elementary, and Grant Elementary) and 1 high school (CF Vigor High School). Unfortunately, the data shows that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to the Mobile County and Alabama state averages.
Across all Prichard schools, test scores are significantly lower than county and state levels, with proficiency rates ranging from just 2% to 30% in various subjects and grade levels. The schools also have very low statewide rankings, with CF Vigor High School ranking 365th out of 371 high schools in Alabama, and the elementary schools ranking between 516th and 570th out of 680-692 elementary schools. Additionally, the Prichard schools are rated 0-2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating poor overall performance.
The student populations at the Prichard schools are overwhelmingly African American, ranging from 95.76% to 100%, in contrast to the more diverse Mobile County School District. These schools also have very high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting significant economic disadvantage among the student populations. Despite the challenges, the Prichard schools have relatively high per-student spending, raising questions about how resources are being allocated and utilized within the district.
