Summary

Hazel Green High School serves approximately 1,454 students in grades 9-12 in the suburban-rural community of Hazel Green, Alabama, just north of Huntsville, as part of the Madison County school district.

Hazel Green is a school with clear academic strengths and some areas that need attention. The school shines in English, with 46.3% of students scoring proficient—well above both the district (44.4%) and state (33.7%) averages. However, math proficiency lags at 27.2%, which is below the district average and trails nearby Buckhorn High School (37.9%) and Sparkman High School (34.7%). On a positive note, the school achieves exceptional outcomes for African American students, ranking in the 92nd percentile statewide, and has ranked #1 or #2 in the state for Native American student performance in recent years. The graduation rate is a strong point at 95.9%, exceeding both district and state averages, and the school spends less per student ($9,090) than many nearby schools while achieving comparable results.

There are some concerns parents should know about. Chronic absenteeism has been climbing, reaching 16.1%—higher than both the district (14.3%) and state (12.0%) rates. Most notably, outcomes for special education students have dropped dramatically, falling from the 75th percentile statewide in 2023-2024 to the 21st percentile in 2025-2026. Similarly, performance for students from low-income backgrounds has declined significantly over the past two years, from the 84th to the 55th percentile. While the school's overall 4-star rating remains steady, these emerging gaps suggest that some student groups may need additional support to ensure every child at Hazel Green has the opportunity to succeed.
