Summary:
Tallassee City, Alabama has only one high school, Tallassee High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking over the past few years, moving from 190th out of 371 high schools in 2022-2023 to 163rd out of 378 in 2023-2024. However, the school faces some challenges, including a higher-than-desired dropout rate and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate.
Academically, Tallassee High School's 11th-grade students performed better than the state average in mathematics and science, but worse in English. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 90.0% is higher than the state average, but its dropout rate of 6.4% for the 2017-2018 school year is a concern. The school serves a relatively low-income student population, with 63.45% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024.
Despite the challenges, Tallassee City appears to be allocating resources to support the school, as evidenced by the relatively high per-student spending of $10,077 and a student-teacher ratio of 14.3 to 1, which is slightly lower than the state average. With continued monitoring and targeted interventions, Tallassee High School may be able to build on its strengths and address its areas of concern to enhance the educational outcomes for its students.
