The schools in Washington County, Alabama serve a diverse population, with 7 schools including 2 elementary schools, 2 high schools, and 3 alternative schools. The district as a whole is ranked 89 out of 135 in the state and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
Among the standout schools, Washington County High School has consistently improved its ranking over the past 3 years, now ranking 111 out of 374 Alabama high schools with a 4-star rating. It performs above the county and state averages in several subject areas. Another high-performing school is Chatom Elementary School, which has also improved its ranking and outperforms the county and state in English language arts.
However, the district faces some challenges, with high dropout rates at McIntosh High School and Millry High School, as well as consistently high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools. The alternative schools in the district also struggle with lower proficiency rates and higher rates of economic disadvantage, as indicated by their high free/reduced lunch rates. Addressing these disparities and ensuring equitable access to quality education should be a priority for the district.
