Summary

Holtville High School in Deatsville, AL, serves approximately 555 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Elmore County school district, offering a smaller, more personalized high school experience than many of its larger regional neighbors.

Academically, Holtville is a standout performer. The school consistently ranks in the top 12% of Alabama high schools, and its students post proficiency rates that are significantly above state averages—roughly 12 percentage points higher in math and English, and 10 points higher in science. In the most recent rankings, Holtville placed 45th statewide, making it one of the top performers in its district, ahead of Elmore County High School (89th) and Stanhope Elmore High School (100th). It also leads the district in math and science proficiency. A particularly notable strength is the school's success with male students, who rank in the 92nd percentile statewide—an unusual and impressive achievement. The school also does exceptionally well supporting students from lower-income backgrounds, ranking in the 82nd percentile for that group. The contrast with nearby Montgomery County schools is stark: Percy Julian High School, just 18 miles away, posts proficiency rates roughly one-tenth of Holtville's.

While the overall picture is strong, there are a couple of areas families should know about. The graduation rate of 89.3% trails the state average of 91.5%, and the school's performance with special education students is a significant concern, ranking in the bottom quintile statewide. On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 23.8% to 14.4% in a single year, showing that targeted interventions are working. With a student-teacher ratio of 17.3:1 and moderate per-student spending, Holtville achieves excellent results efficiently, making it a compelling choice for families seeking a high-performing, close-knit school environment.

My two sons graduated from Holtville High School as did I. One is now an anesthesiologist and the other son has a Phd. in Physics and Chemistry. Graduates of 2000 and 2002. Had it not been for the outstanding teachers at that time where oh where would they be. Mr. and Mrs. Williamson, Mrs. Steal, Cindy Veazy and many others were there for my children educationally and as close friends.
