Summary:
Enterprise High School is the sole public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Enterprise City district in Alabama, enrolling 2,177 students and ranking in the top 15% of all high schools in the state.
For parents, this is a strong, high-achieving school that consistently outperforms state averages. In the 2025-2026 school year, 11th-grade proficiency rates were 37.93% in math, 46.55% in science, and 48.13% in English—all roughly 10 to 15 percentage points above the state averages. The graduation rate is 92.5%, slightly better than the state's 91.5%. The district itself is ranked 21st out of 139 districts in Alabama, earning a 4-star rating. The school has ranked as high as 43rd out of 380 schools statewide in recent years. One notable concern is the chronic absenteeism rate of 13.9%, which is higher than both the district average (8.4%) and the state average (12.0%). However, this has not negatively impacted academic performance or graduation rates, suggesting the school has effective support systems in place for students who attend regularly.
Academically, the school is showing strong year-over-year improvement. From 2024-2025 to 2025-2026, proficiency increased in all subjects: math rose by 4.4 points, science by 2.5 points, and English by 5.85 points. This consistent growth indicates that recent academic initiatives are working. The school operates with a student-teacher ratio of 18.1:1, which is relatively high, yet it still achieves top-tier results. About 43% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch, meaning the school serves a significant economically disadvantaged population while still delivering above-average outcomes. Per-student spending was $10,185 in 2018-2019, the most recent data available. Overall, Enterprise High School is a high-performing, efficient school that delivers strong results despite resource and attendance challenges.
