High Schools in Choctaw County

The Choctaw County school district in Alabama is home to two high schools: Choctaw County High School and Southern Choctaw High School. Both schools serve grades 9-12 and have similar performance metrics, with neither standing out as a clear standout in the district.

Academically, both Choctaw County High School and Southern Choctaw High School perform significantly below the state average in proficiency rates for mathematics, science, and English language arts across various grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Choctaw County High School had only 8.33% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 23.71%. Additionally, both schools have low 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger, with Choctaw County High School ranked 294th and Southern Choctaw High School ranked 335th out of 374 Alabama high schools.

The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at both schools, over 69% at each, indicate that the student population in Choctaw County comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. This, coupled with the schools' underperformance, suggests that the Choctaw County school district as a whole may be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. Addressing the underlying issues and implementing targeted interventions may be necessary to help these schools and the broader district improve student outcomes.
