Summary

Zion Chapel High School is a PK-12 school in Jack, Alabama, serving 887 students within the highly regarded Coffee County district, which ranks in the 81st percentile statewide. The school serves a rural community where about 53% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and it boasts an impressive 96.3% graduation rate—well above the state average of 91.5%.

Zion Chapel's standout achievement is its remarkable turnaround in chronic absenteeism, dropping from 21.6% in 2021-2022 to just 5.1% in 2024-2025—far better than the 12% state average and dramatically lower than nearby Luverne High School (21.8%) and Brantley High School (22.4%). The school also excels in early-grade math, with 3rd graders hitting 68.85% proficiency versus the state's 44.89%, and 4th graders reaching 75% compared to the state's 42.07%. Science scores remain competitive through high school, with 11th graders exceeding the state average by 10 percentage points.

However, the school faces a significant "middle school slump." Math proficiency plummets from 63.79% in 6th grade to just 21.43% in 7th grade, and 8th grade math sits at 15.79%—well below the state's 26.36%. English scores show a similar decline, with only 20.37% of 11th graders proficient versus the state's 33.73%. This contrasts sharply with Ariton School, which outperforms Zion Chapel in upper grades (11th grade math: 47.83% vs. 22.22%). While Zion Chapel builds strong foundations in elementary years, the school's challenge lies in maintaining that momentum through secondary grades—an area worth investigating for parents considering long-term enrollment.
