Summary:

The schools in Macon County, Alabama serve a predominantly African American student population, with high rates of poverty and academic challenges, particularly in mathematics. The district includes 6 schools, comprising 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school.

Among the standout schools, George Washington Carver Elementary School has the highest English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates in 3rd grade, but struggles with math. In contrast, the alternative Notasulga High School excels in ELA, but has very low math proficiency. Overall, the schools in Macon County perform significantly below the state averages, especially in mathematics, with 11th-grade math proficiency as low as 2.75% at Booker T. Washington High School.

The high poverty levels, with 89.63% to 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contribute to the academic challenges faced by these schools. Targeted interventions, increased funding, and evidence-based instructional practices may be necessary to address the disparities and improve student outcomes in Macon County.
