High Schools in Attalla City

Summary:

Attalla City, Alabama is home to a single high school, Etowah High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school's performance has fluctuated over the years, it currently holds a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking 186th out of 374 high schools statewide for the 2024-2025 school year.

Etowah High School has a 90.0% four-year graduation rate, which is a positive indicator of student success. However, the school's dropout rate of 5.4% in the 2016-2017 school year was slightly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.8% in the 2023-2024 school year is an area that could use improvement. Academically, Etowah High School's test scores in Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts for 11th-grade students have been mixed compared to the Attalla City and statewide averages, with proficiency rates below the state average in all three subjects in the 2024-2025 school year.

Despite these challenges, Etowah High School has some positive attributes, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.4 in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, as 78.63% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance and could require targeted interventions and support to help improve student outcomes.
