Summary

Henagar Junior High School is a small, rural PK-8 school in Henagar, AL, serving 261 students within the DeKalb County school district, where over 60% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school is on a remarkable upward trajectory. In just two years, it has jumped from a 2-star to a 4-star rating, moving from the 433rd to the 193rd spot in state rankings. The biggest driver of this success is exceptional math performance. In 3rd grade, 90% of students are proficient in math, compared to about 45% statewide, and this strong trend continues through 8th grade. The school is particularly effective at helping students from low-income backgrounds succeed, earning a 4-star rating for this group. It also has a low chronic absenteeism rate (8.7%) and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.8, which means more personalized attention for your child.

Compared to nearby Rosalie Elementary School (just 4.6 miles away), Henagar vastly outperforms it in both math and reading. For example, in 5th grade math, Henagar's proficiency rate is 41.67% versus Rosalie's 6.67%. Even when compared to the high-performing Dutton Elementary School, Henagar holds its own—and in 3rd grade math, Henagar's 90% proficiency rate far exceeds Dutton's 50%. While there are areas for growth, such as early-grade science and a gap between female (83rd percentile) and male (51st percentile) student performance, the overall picture is of a school that is rapidly improving and delivering strong results for its students.
