Summary

Sulligent School is a PK-12 school in Sulligent, Alabama, serving 684 students across all grade levels within the Lamar County district, where about 54% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Sulligent School shows a clear split between elementary and upper-grade performance. In English Language Arts, elementary students shine—5th graders hit an impressive 89% proficiency, well above the state average. Math tells a different story: while 3rd and 5th graders outperform state averages, proficiency plummets in middle school, with only 9.6% of 8th graders meeting math standards compared to the state's 26.4%. This dramatic drop suggests a challenging transition period that parents should be aware of. The school also struggles with chronic absenteeism at 22%, nearly double the state rate, and the graduation rate fell to 87.5% in 2024-2025—below both the district (93.9%) and the nearby Lamar County HighIntermediate (98.5%).

Despite these challenges, there are bright spots. The school's elementary literacy instruction is clearly effective, and 11th grade scores in 2024-2025 actually exceeded district and state averages in both math and ELA, though that performance dipped the following year. Sulligent also spends slightly more per student ($9,249) than Lamar County HighIntermediate ($8,724). For parents, the key takeaway is that Sulligent offers strong early education but requires extra attention and support during the middle school years, particularly in math. The school's recent improvement in economic disadvantage rates (down from 66% to 54% in two years) suggests a changing community, though academic outcomes haven't yet followed that trend.
