Summary

George W Long High School in Skipperville, AL, is a small public school serving 377 students in grades 7-12 within the Dale County school district, and it has earned a reputation as one of the top-performing schools in the state.

This school is a true academic standout. It holds a 5-star rating and ranks 25th out of 380 high schools statewide, placing it in the 93rd percentile. What makes this even more impressive is that about 40% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, yet the school achieves results that rival affluent schools. The most striking difference is in math: 60% of 11th graders are proficient, which is more than double the state average of 27%. The school also excels in science (55.71% proficient) and English (45.71% proficient). When you compare it to nearby schools, the gap is dramatic. For example, Headland High School has 29% math proficiency, while Daleville High School sits at just 12%, and Abbeville High School is at 7.7%. George W Long outperforms its nearest competitor by more than 30 percentage points in math alone.

Beyond test scores, the school fosters a culture of attendance and completion. Its chronic absenteeism rate is just 3.8%—about one-third of the state average—and it boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate. The school is particularly effective with students from low-income backgrounds, ranking 9th out of 377 schools statewide for its success with these students. This consistent excellence has been sustained for a decade, never ranking below the 84th percentile since 2015. For parents, this school demonstrates that a rural setting and moderate poverty levels do not limit academic achievement—it's a model of what dedicated teaching and a strong school culture can accomplish.

Read school policies (including the outdated demerit system) that involve beating high school teen age males and females. This school and school district promote violence against young people, with parent consent of course. Close Quote
