Summary:

The Talladega County school district in Alabama serves approximately 6,758 students across 16 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 5 high schools, and 1 alternative school, with the district overall ranking 65th out of 139 Alabama districts and earning a 3-star rating.

For parents, the standout school in this district is Charles R Drew Middle School, which ranks 67th of 443 Alabama middle schools (85th percentile) and has earned 4-star ratings for three consecutive years. It boasts the district's lowest chronic absenteeism rate at just 6.8%, and its 7th-grade math proficiency (47.62%) is nearly double the state average. Another surprising bright spot is Fayetteville High School, classified as an alternative school, yet achieving a perfect 100% graduation rate, the highest in the district, along with 11th-grade math proficiency (44.19%) that nearly doubles the district average. On the other end, Winterboro High School presents the most significant challenges, with 11th-grade English proficiency at just 10.81% (roughly one-third of the state average) and chronic absenteeism at 14.7%.

Several patterns emerge across the district. Elementary English proficiency is a clear strength, with schools like Childersburg Elementary School (84.62% 3rd-grade proficiency) and BB Comer Memorial Elementary School (83.87% 5th-grade proficiency) exceeding state averages. However, math proficiency drops sharply in middle school, falling from roughly 45% in 3rd grade to about 22% in 7th grade. Chronic absenteeism strongly correlates with performance—the three high schools with the highest absenteeism rates (BB Comer Memorial High School at 19.1%, Lincoln High School at 18.6%, and Childersburg High School at 16.5%) all show below-average academics. Notably, spending per student does not predict success—Winterboro High School spends the most ($13,197 per student) yet struggles academically, while Charles R Drew Middle School spends the second-least ($7,557) and achieves the best results. Despite academic struggles, graduation rates remain strong, with 5 of 6 high schools exceeding the state average of 91.5%.
