Summary:
Chilton County, Alabama is home to two high schools: Chilton County High School and Jemison High School. While both schools have similar rankings and ratings from SchoolDigger, they face challenges in academic performance, with students scoring below the county and state averages in Mathematics, Science, and English.
The data reveals that both Chilton County High School and Jemison High School have a 90.0% four-year graduation rate and a 6.7% dropout rate. However, the schools struggle with high rates of chronic absenteeism, at 14.8% for both. Additionally, the schools serve economically disadvantaged student populations, with Chilton County High School having a 71.34% free and reduced lunch rate and Jemison High School having an even higher rate of 83.8%.
Despite the higher spending per student at Jemison High School ($9,182) compared to Chilton County High School ($8,255), the academic performance of the two schools remains relatively consistent. This suggests that the Chilton County school district may need to explore more effective ways to allocate resources and improve the quality of education across all its high schools.
