Summary:
The city of Tarrant, Alabama is home to three schools: two elementary schools (Tarrant Intermediate School and Tarrant Elementary School) and one high school (Tarrant High School). Unfortunately, the data analysis reveals that all three schools in the Tarrant City school district are performing significantly below the state averages across a variety of metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and school rankings.
Tarrant High School is ranked 355th out of 374 Alabama high schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a 90.0% four-year graduation rate, which is slightly below the state average, and a 6.4% dropout rate, which is higher than the state average. Proficiency rates in mathematics, science, and English language arts are also significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels. The two elementary schools, Tarrant Intermediate School and Tarrant Elementary School, are ranked 636th and between 556th and 697th out of 680 and 696-698 Alabama elementary schools, respectively, with 0-1 star ratings.
One of the key factors contributing to the low performance of these schools is the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 89.21% to 97.06%. This indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations, which likely requires targeted interventions and additional resources to support these students. The school district also spends between $9,871 and $11,985 per student, with student-teacher ratios slightly higher than the state average, suggesting a need for more funding and resources to improve educational outcomes in the Tarrant school district.
