Summary

Highland Home School is a PK-12 school in Highland Home, AL, serving approximately 746 students within the Crenshaw County district, where about 65% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

One of the school's standout strengths is its graduation rate. At 86.7% for 2024-2025, it outpaces the district average (83.9%) and significantly beats nearby Luverne High School (77.1%) by nearly 10 percentage points—even though both schools serve similar student populations. This suggests strong student support and retention programs that help kids stay on track to earn a diploma. Early academic performance is also encouraging, particularly in 3rd grade math, where proficiency (44.07%) nearly matches the state average (44.89%). English Language Arts shows resilience too, with 5th grade proficiency (69.77%) actually exceeding the state average (69.53%).

However, the school faces a significant challenge in middle school, especially in math. Proficiency drops dramatically from 44.07% in 3rd grade to just 4.92% in 8th grade—a decline far steeper than state trends. Science performance in 8th grade (19.67%) also lags well behind the state (54.12%). This "middle school cliff" appears across multiple subjects and years, suggesting a systemic issue rather than a one-time problem. Chronic absenteeism has also risen sharply, from 12.1% in 2021-2022 to 24.5% in 2024-2025, more than double the state average (12.0%). While the school excels at getting students to graduation, the academic preparation in STEM subjects during middle school—and the attendance challenges that may contribute—are key areas for parents to watch and for the school to address.
