High Schools in Marion County

Summary:

The four high schools located in Marion County, Alabama serve students in grades 9-12. These schools include Hamilton High School, Hackleburg High School, Marion County High School, and Phillips High School.

Among the four high schools, Hackleburg High School stands out, ranking 70th out of 374 Alabama high schools and receiving a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, the highest in the group. Hackleburg High School also outperformed the county and state averages on several test score metrics, including 11th grade math, science, and English. Hamilton High School has also shown consistent improvement, moving from 213th in 2023-2024 to 121st in 2024-2025 in the statewide ranking, and performing above the county and state averages on 11th grade tests.

All four high schools had a 90% four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year, a positive indicator. However, the schools face challenges, with a significant proportion of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.21% at Hamilton High School to 75.47% at Phillips High School, suggesting a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. This presents opportunities for targeted interventions and support to address these socioeconomic challenges and improve educational outcomes across the Marion County high schools.
