Summary

Rogers High School in Florence, AL, is a mid-sized public school serving 510 students in grades 7 through 12 within the Lauderdale County district, which holds a 3-star state rating.

Rogers presents a clear "middle school success, high school struggle" pattern. In 8th grade, students shine—65.71% are proficient in English, the highest among all comparable district schools and well above the state average of 58.53%. However, by 11th grade, proficiency collapses: only 14.29% are proficient in math (roughly half the state average of 27.21%), and science and English scores also fall significantly behind. This drop-off coincides with a critical red flag: a 30% chronic absenteeism rate in 2024-2025, nearly 2.5 times the state average and the highest in the district. This rate has climbed steadily from 20.3% in 2021-2022, suggesting growing student disengagement in the upper grades. Despite these academic challenges, the school maintains an impressive 96.8% graduation rate, exceeding both district (96.0%) and state (91.5%) averages—a paradox that may indicate credit recovery programs are helping students graduate without full grade-level mastery.

Compared to nearby schools, Rogers sits in the bottom tier of Lauderdale County. Top performers like Lexington High School and Lauderdale County High School rank in the 75th-78th percentile, while Rogers sits at the 34th percentile. The gap is starkest in 11th grade math: Lexington posts 35% proficiency versus Rogers' 14.29%. However, Rogers outperforms Sheffield High School (a nearby school in a different district), which has a dismal 80% graduation rate. For parents, the data suggests Rogers provides a solid middle school foundation and ensures students graduate, but the high school experience—particularly in math—may not adequately prepare students for college-level work. The recent economic shift (free/reduced lunch dropping from 57% to 36%) has not translated into academic gains, making the rising absenteeism the most urgent issue to address.
