Randolph County

Summary:

Randolph County, Alabama is home to 7 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools, with Woodland Elementary School and Woodland High School standing out as top performers in the county, while other schools face challenges in meeting state averages.

Woodland Elementary School ranks among the top 187 elementary schools in Alabama and has a 4-star rating, performing well above the Randolph County and state averages in math and English proficiency, particularly in grades 3-6. Wedowee Elementary School also has strong English proficiency scores, with 3rd-grade students performing above the county and state averages. At the high school level, Woodland High School ranks among the top 175 high schools in Alabama and has a 3-star rating, performing better than the county and state averages in math, science, and English proficiency for 11th-grade students.

However, the data also reveals areas of concern, such as consistently high chronic absenteeism rates of 14.8% across all schools, which may be impacting student achievement. Additionally, the wide range of free/reduced lunch recipients, from 57.2% at Woodland High School to 74.78% at Randolph County High School, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by some schools in the district.
