Summary

Belgreen High School is a public school in Russellville, AL, serving 588 students in grades PK through 12, making it the largest of the three schools in the Franklin County district.

One of the most striking patterns at Belgreen is the contrast between its middle and high school performance. In 5th and 6th grades, math proficiency is a clear strength—55.81% and 50% respectively—well above both district and state averages. However, by 11th grade, proficiency drops dramatically to just 15.69% in math and 23.53% in English, both below state averages. This "middle school success, high school struggle" pattern suggests the school builds strong foundational skills but faces challenges translating that into upper-level achievement. Interestingly, nearby East Franklin Junior High School shows the opposite trend, with exceptional 8th-grade English proficiency at 94.44%, indicating the two schools have different instructional strengths that could be shared district-wide.

The graduation rate is another area of concern, declining from 94.5% in 2018-2019 to 84.8% in 2024-2025—now below both the district (91.0%) and state (91.5%) averages. This is a notable reversal from earlier years when Belgreen outperformed both. On a positive note, chronic absenteeism is remarkably low at 8.1%, better than the district, state, and neighboring schools, showing strong student engagement. The school also serves a significant number of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with nearly 57% receiving free or reduced lunch. While Vina High School boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate and stronger 11th-grade science scores, Belgreen generally outperforms Vina in middle-grade academics. For parents, this school offers a supportive, well-attended environment with strong elementary and middle school academics, but families should be aware of the high school achievement gap and declining graduation rates.
