Summary

Douglas High School is a public high school serving 691 students in grades 9-12 in Douglas, Alabama. The school is part of the Marshall County School District, which is ranked 81 out of 135 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Douglas High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 111th out of 367 high schools in 2021-2022 (4-star rating) to 252nd out of 366 high schools in 2018-2019 (2-star rating). The school's current ranking for the 2024-2025 school year is 118th out of 374 high schools, with a 3-star rating. However, the school performs relatively well in certain student subgroups, such as male students, Hispanic students, Native American students, English Language Learner (ELL) students, and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students, who all rank in the top half of Alabama high schools. The school has maintained a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 88.2% to 90.5% over the past few years, but has experienced varying levels of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 4.8% to 17.9%.

Comparing Douglas High School to nearby schools, such as Asbury High School and Brindlee Mountain High School, both in the Marshall County School District, as well as Arab High School in the Arab City district, highlights the importance of considering factors like socioeconomic status and district-level support in understanding a school's performance. Despite its challenges, Douglas High School appears to be effectively supporting its economically disadvantaged students, as evidenced by the strong performance of its low-SES subgroup.
