Summary

Pisgah High School is a PK-12 school in Pisgah, AL, serving approximately 598 students within the Jackson County district, where about half of the student body qualifies for free or reduced lunch.

Pisgah's standout strength is its early elementary literacy program. In 3rd grade, 81.82% of students are proficient in English Language Arts, far outpacing the state average of 64.75%, and this advantage holds through 4th and 5th grades. The school also shines in 4th grade science, with a 72.73% proficiency rate compared to the state's 50.23%. Another bright spot is the dramatic turnaround in 11th grade math, which jumped from 13.46% proficiency in 2023-2024 to 30.19% in 2025-2026, now exceeding both district and state averages. The school also keeps students in class, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 9.0%—much lower than nearby Section High School (19.1%) and North Sand Mountain School (17.6%). Graduation rates are consistently strong, sitting at 94.3% for 2024-2025, above the state average of 91.5%.

While early grades excel, the school sees a dip in middle school English and math performance, with advantages over state averages narrowing by 8th grade. Math scores in early grades also fluctuate year to year, though recent data shows improvement. Compared to Skyline High School, Pisgah lags in some elementary math but leads in 11th grade math. Against Sylvania School, Pisgah significantly outperforms in most subjects. Overall, Pisgah offers a strong foundation in early literacy and science, with a positive trajectory in high school math, making it a solid choice for families prioritizing early academic skills and consistent attendance.
