Summary

Wetumpka High School is a large public high school in Wetumpka, AL, serving 1,219 students in grades 9-12 within the Elmore County school district, and it stands out as one of the top-performing schools in the state.

Academically, Wetumpka High School is a clear leader in its region. In the most recent testing cycle, 37.2% of 11th graders were proficient in math, 47.44% in science, and 48.97% in English—all significantly above both the district and state averages. This performance places the school in the 90th percentile statewide, ranking 39th out of 380 high schools. The contrast with nearby schools is striking: while Holtville High School (ranked 45th) and Elmore County High School (ranked 89th) are also strong, schools in the Montgomery County district, such as Percy Julian High School and McIntyre Comprehensive Academy, rank in the bottom 10% of the state. For example, Wetumpka's English proficiency rate is over five times higher than Percy Julian's and over ten times higher than McIntyre's, making Wetumpka a clear hub of academic opportunity in the area.

What truly sets Wetumpka High apart is its exceptional success with specific student groups. The school ranks 4th in the state for Hispanic students, 2nd for English Language Learners, and 3rd for military-connected students—all earning 5-star ratings. This represents a dramatic improvement from just a few years ago, when these same groups received 1-star ratings. The school's African American students rank in the 86th percentile and low-income students in the 82nd percentile, showing that high achievement is not limited to any one demographic. While the graduation rate of 87.1% lags slightly behind the state average of 91.5%, the school has shown remarkable resilience, rebounding from a 70th percentile ranking in 2023-2024 to the 90th percentile today. Chronic absenteeism has also improved significantly, dropping from 16.4% to 12.5%, which aligns with the school's academic resurgence.
