Summary:
The Marshall County school district in Alabama is home to 4 high schools that serve students in grades 9-12. These schools include Douglas High School, Asbury High School, Brindlee Mountain High School, and Kate D Smith DAR High School. The data reveals that while the schools share some similarities, such as graduation rates, there are also notable differences in their academic performance and other key metrics.
Among the standout schools in the district, Kate D Smith DAR High School emerges as the top performer. It is ranked 90th out of 374 Alabama high schools, the highest ranking in the district, and has consistently received a 4-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school also boasts the highest proficiency rates in Mathematics, Science, and English among the district's high schools, as well as the lowest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, a proxy for socioeconomic status.
While Brindlee Mountain High School has shown improvement, moving up in the statewide rankings, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the schools and the Marshall County and Alabama averages, particularly in Mathematics proficiency. This suggests that there is still room for growth and improvement across the district, and that a comprehensive, data-driven approach that addresses the unique challenges faced by each school may be necessary to ensure all students in Marshall County have access to a high-quality education.
