Autauga County

Autauga County Schools serve approximately 8,888 students across 13 schools in Alabama, including elementary, middle, high, and alternative programs, with the district overall earning a 3-star rating (54th percentile statewide).

For parents, the standout schools are Pine Level Elementary School and Daniel Pratt Elementary School. Pine Level ranks in the 88th percentile statewide and posts exceptional 5th-grade math proficiency at 72.46%—nearly double the district average—while Daniel Pratt holds a consistent 4-star rating with 3rd-grade math at 72.73%. Both schools outperform state averages across multiple subjects. At the other end, Autaugaville School faces significant challenges with a 52.3% graduation rate, 78.82% free/reduced lunch eligibility, and 0% proficiency in 11th-grade math and English. Billingsley High School also struggles academically, with 11th-grade math at just 9.76%, though it maintains an 87.8% graduation rate.

Middle and high school performance shows a notable decline from elementary levels. Prattville Junior High School has dropped from the 81st to 58th percentile over three years, while 8th-grade math proficiency across the district ranges from 17.5% to 33.25%. At the high school level, Prattville High School leads with a 90.2% graduation rate and 46.67% science proficiency, while Marbury High School shows improvement to the 68th percentile. Chronic absenteeism is a key predictor—schools like Prattville Elementary School (7.3%) and Daniel Pratt (6.2%) perform better, while Autaugaville (14.5%) and Marbury High (14.4%) lag. Notably, AVA Autauga Virtual Academy has 0% absenteeism but very low test scores, and Autaugaville spends the most per student ($15,681) yet shows the weakest results, suggesting funding alone doesn't drive success.
