Summary

Brantley High School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Brantley, Alabama, with an enrollment of 548 students. The school is part of the Crenshaw County school district and has seen a relatively stable graduation rate around 90% in recent years, though its dropout rate ranges from 5-8%.

Brantley High School faces significant challenges, particularly in the areas of academic performance and student attendance. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, lags behind the Crenshaw County and state averages across most grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 11.11% of 11th graders were proficient or better in math, compared to 12.69% for Crenshaw County and 23.71% for the state. Additionally, Brantley High School has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 14.8% to 32% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to the nearby Luverne High School, also in the Crenshaw County district, Brantley High School has lower academic performance, higher chronic absenteeism, and higher spending per student, despite having a lower student-teacher ratio. This suggests that factors beyond just staffing and funding may be contributing to Brantley's challenges, and addressing attendance issues could be a key focus area for improvement.
