Summary:

Roanoke City, Alabama is home to a single high school, Handley High School, which serves grades 9-12. With an enrollment of 424 students, Handley High School demonstrates strong academic performance, exceeding state averages in 11th-grade proficiency rates for Mathematics, Science, and English. The school's 90.0% four-year graduation rate in 2023-2024 is also a positive indicator.

While Handley High School's academic metrics are commendable, the school serves a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with a 52.12% free and reduced-price lunch rate. This context is important when interpreting the school's performance. Additionally, the school's 14.8% chronic absenteeism rate in 2023-2024 is slightly higher than the ideal target, suggesting an area for potential improvement.

Overall, Roanoke City is home to a single high school, Handley High School, which demonstrates strong academic performance, particularly in 11th-grade proficiency rates, and a high graduation rate. However, the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, and chronic absenteeism is an area that could benefit from further attention and support.
