Summary

White Plains High School is a public high school in Anniston, AL, serving 396 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Calhoun County school district.

White Plains stands out for its exceptional graduation rate of 100% for 2024-2025, well above the district average of 95.4% and state average of 91.5%. This is particularly impressive when compared to nearby schools like Jacksonville High School (90.8%) and Anniston High School (92.0%). The school also excels in English, with 56.18% of 11th graders scoring proficient—a 22-point advantage over the state average and the highest among all nearby schools. Science performance is similarly strong at 47.83% proficiency, outpacing both district and state averages. Perhaps most notably, chronic absenteeism has plummeted from 17.6% in 2021-2022 to just 5.3% in 2024-2025—the lowest rate among all neighboring schools and less than half the state average. This improvement suggests effective student engagement strategies and a supportive school culture.

While the school shines in English and science, mathematics remains an area for growth, with only 21.74% of 11th graders proficient in 2025-2026, below the state average of 27.21%. The school also shows inconsistent performance with special education students, ranking in the 19th percentile in 2024-2025 after being in the 63rd percentile two years earlier. Despite these challenges, White Plains achieves strong results with moderate resources, spending $10,143 per student—significantly less than Anniston High School's $15,432—while dramatically outperforming that school across all academic measures. The school ranks 77th in the state, ahead of most Calhoun County peers, though it trails Jacksonville High School (57th). With a student-teacher ratio of 18.4:1 and a close-knit community of 396 students, White Plains offers a supportive environment where students consistently graduate and achieve strong results in core subjects.

I graduated from White Plains. All of the faculty and staff were willing to help and support any and every student. Also Todd Chandler the Principal is very just and understanding and really cares about his students and their well being. Close Quote
