High Schools in Demopolis City

Demopolis City is home to a single high school, Demopolis High School, which serves grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 594 students within the Demopolis City school district.

For parents considering this area, Demopolis High School offers a stable, mid-to-upper tier academic experience. The school has consistently ranked in the 66th to 69th percentile of Alabama high schools over the past three years, earning a 3-star rating. Its district is notably strong, ranking in the top 25% statewide with a 4-star rating. The school’s biggest academic strengths are in STEM subjects: science proficiency has exceeded the state average by roughly 3 to 8 percentage points, and math proficiency has also consistently outperformed the state by 1.5 to 2.7 points. However, English proficiency is a clear weakness, lagging the state average by a substantial 7.7 to 8.4 percentage points. The good news is that both math and English scores improved year-over-year, with English showing a particularly encouraging jump of over 4 points.

Beyond test scores, the school serves a majority low-income student population, with nearly 55% of students receiving free or reduced lunch. The graduation rate stands at 88.9%, which is 2.6 points below the state average, while chronic absenteeism (12.5%) is close to the state norm. With a student-teacher ratio of 15.6:1 and per-student spending of $9,168, the school appears to allocate resources effectively in math and science, though the persistent English gap suggests literacy programs may need additional focus. Overall, Demopolis High School provides solid STEM instruction and a stable learning environment, but families should be aware of the literacy challenges and the slight graduation rate deficit when evaluating the school.
