Summary

Fyffe High School in Fyffe, AL, is a PK-12 school serving 954 students in the small, rural community of northeastern Alabama, and it stands out as a high-performing school within the DeKalb County district.

Fyffe's most impressive achievement is its 98.1% graduation rate—the highest among all nearby schools and well above the state average of 91.5%. This represents a remarkable improvement from 86.8% just a few years ago. The school also excels in early education, with 3rd grade English proficiency at 80.72%, outpacing the district by 24 points and the state by 16 points. Science scores are consistently strong across all grade levels, and the school has made dramatic progress in attendance, cutting chronic absenteeism from 17.2% to 9.3% in a single year—now below both district and state averages. While math proficiency in middle school grades (7th and 8th) lags behind state averages, high school math scores are the strongest in the region, with 11th grade math proficiency at 38.46% compared to the state's 27.21%.

Compared to its closest competitor, Plainview School just 5 miles away, Fyffe holds the edge in graduation rate and high school math, though Plainview shows stronger middle school math and science scores.

Notably, Fyffe achieves these results while spending less per student ($9,879) than several comparable schools, suggesting efficient resource use. For parents seeking a school with strong graduation outcomes, excellent early literacy programs, and a clear upward trajectory, Fyffe High School is a standout choice in rural Alabama.
