Summary:
The city of Section, Alabama is home to two schools: Section High School, an alternative school serving grades PK-12 with 546 students, and Macedonia School, an elementary school serving grades PK-8 with 131 students. Both schools are part of the Jackson County school district.
Section High School stands out with a 90% four-year graduation rate, which is higher than the state average. However, the school's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with stronger results in English language arts but lower scores in mathematics and science compared to the county and state. Macedonia School has a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 14.8%, but its test scores are also varied, with some grades performing above the county and state, while others fall behind.
In terms of funding, Macedonia School spends more per student ($11,737) compared to Section High School ($9,937). However, both schools have higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, which could be an area of concern and focus for improvement in the district.
