Summary

Saraland High School is a highly rated public high school in Saraland, AL, serving 1,134 students in grades 9-12 within the Saraland City district, which ranks 4th out of 139 districts in Alabama.

Saraland High School is a standout performer, currently ranked 24th out of 380 high schools in the state (top 6%) with a 5-star rating. Its academic proficiency is roughly double the state average—for example, 44.64% of 11th graders are proficient in math compared to the state average of around 20%. This places it far ahead of nearby Mobile County schools like Murphy High School (23.96% math proficiency) and Mattie T Blount High School (10.37%). The school also boasts a 98.4% graduation rate, well above the state average of 91.5%, and a low chronic absenteeism rate of 10%. Its closest competitor, Satsuma High School, ranks 33rd and trails Saraland in all three tested subjects.

What makes Saraland particularly impressive is its success across diverse student groups. It ranks 12th in the state for African American students and 16th for low socio-economic status students, showing that high achievement isn't limited to one demographic. The school has shown steady improvement, rebounding from a 44th-place ranking in 2023-2024 to its current 24th. However, there are areas for growth: performance for Special Education students has been volatile (dropping from 10th to 119th in the state), and Military-Connected students have consistently received low ratings. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 16.1:1 and strong engagement metrics, Saraland High School offers a supportive, high-achieving environment that stands out dramatically in the region.
