High Schools in Linden City

There is only one high school located in Linden City, Alabama - Linden High School. The school serves grades 9-12 and has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Alabama high schools, with very low academic proficiency rates and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Linden High School faces significant challenges, with only 3-9% of 11th-grade students proficient in core subjects like math, science, and English. The school's 4-year graduation rate is 90%, which is decent but still below the state average, and its dropout rate of 7.1% is higher than the state average. The school has a high-poverty student population, with 86.51% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 10.7.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $10,787, which is slightly above the state average, the persistent low performance suggests that the additional funding may not be effectively translating into improved outcomes. Addressing the underlying issues, such as chronic absenteeism and engagement, may be crucial for Linden High School to improve its educational quality and provide a better learning environment for its students.
