Summary

North Jackson High School is a small public high school in Stevenson, AL, serving 432 students in grades 9-12 within the Jackson County school district, where over half of the student body comes from low socio-economic backgrounds.

When comparing North Jackson to the nearby Scottsboro High School, the most noticeable difference is in standardized test scores. North Jackson's proficiency rates in math (19.59%), English (20.83%), and science (32.99%) all trail both the state averages and Scottsboro's significantly higher scores. However, the story changes when you look at graduation rates. North Jackson boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate for the 2024-2025 school year, far exceeding Scottsboro's 93.9% and the state average of 91.5%. This suggests the school places a strong emphasis on making sure students finish high school, even if test performance is a challenge.

There are several encouraging trends worth noting. Math proficiency has improved dramatically, jumping from just 4.76% in 2022-2023 to 19.59% in 2025-2026—a near-quadrupling in just three years. Chronic absenteeism has also been steadily declining and is now better than both the district and state averages, meaning attendance is not a major issue. The school's overall state ranking has been volatile over the past decade, but it recently improved to the 44th percentile with a 2-star rating. While North Jackson faces more socio-economic challenges and larger class sizes than Scottsboro, its perfect graduation rate and improving math scores show a school that is dedicated to student success and completion, even if its academic proficiency still has room to grow.
