Summary:

The Pickens County school district in Alabama is home to three high schools: Gordo High School, Aliceville High School, and Pickens County High School. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and showcase varying levels of academic performance and school characteristics.

Gordo High School stands out as the top performer, ranking 204 out of 374 Alabama high schools and boasting a 90% four-year graduation rate. The school outperforms the Pickens County and Alabama averages in several academic areas, such as English proficiency. In contrast, Aliceville High School generally underperforms compared to its peers, despite having the highest spending per student and student-teacher ratio.

While all three high schools maintain a 90% four-year graduation rate, a concerning issue across the district is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.8%. Additionally, the data suggests that socioeconomic factors, such as the high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at Aliceville High School and Pickens County High School, may contribute to the performance disparities observed between the schools.
