Summary

Satsuma High School is a high-performing public school in Satsuma, AL, serving 729 students in grades 7 through 12 within the Satsuma City district, which holds a 4-star rating and ranks 16th out of 139 districts statewide.

Academically, Satsuma is a standout in the Mobile area. In the 2025-2026 school year, 41.18% of 11th graders were proficient in math—nearly four times the rate at nearby Lillie B Williamson High School (5.41%) and more than three times that of CF Vigor High School (12.41%). Science proficiency (52.1%) and English proficiency (47.9%) also far exceed state averages, with only Saraland High School—located just 4.36 miles away—posting slightly higher scores. Satsuma's graduation rate is exceptional at 97.3%, compared to the state average of 91.5% and dramatically higher than Chickasaw City High School (61.5%). Perhaps most impressive is the school's effectiveness with economically disadvantaged students: despite 45% qualifying for free/reduced lunch, Satsuma ranks 24th out of 377 schools statewide (94th percentile) for this subgroup, earning 5 stars—a stark contrast to nearby Mattie T Blount High School and CF Vigor, which serve higher poverty populations yet rank in the bottom quartile.

However, there are areas of concern. Satsuma's performance with Special Education students has declined sharply, dropping from the 64th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 12th percentile in 2025-2026—a 1-star rating that signals this subgroup needs immediate attention. Chronic absenteeism also rose from 8.4% to 16.2% in one year, now exceeding the state average. On a positive note, the school is resource-efficient, spending about $9,796 per student—less than Murphy High School ($10,088) and far less than the Continuous Learning Center ($56,017)—while achieving dramatically better outcomes. Strong 8th-grade science (81.6% proficiency) and English (77.6%) scores suggest a solid academic foundation, though math proficiency dips in high school. Overall, Satsuma is an efficient, high-achieving school that must now focus on ensuring all student groups share in its success.
