Summary

Lillie B Williamson High School is a public school in Mobile, AL, serving 889 students in grades 6 through 12 within the Mobile County school district, where nearly 90% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with 11th-grade proficiency rates well below state averages: only 5.41% in math, 6.42% in English, and 11.71% in science. This is a stark contrast to nearby WP Davidson High School, just 4.31 miles away, which achieves roughly 44% proficiency in both math and English. Even Murphy High School, the closest traditional high school, outperforms Williamson by 4-5 times in these subjects. Interestingly, the school's middle school students (grades 6-8) perform notably better than its high school students—6th grade English proficiency is 27.43% versus just 6.42% for 11th graders—suggesting students lose ground as they progress. Chronic absenteeism has also been a major issue, spiking to 60.9% in 2023-2024 before improving to 28.6% in 2024-2025, still more than double the district rate.

There are some encouraging signs. The graduation rate has improved for three consecutive years, rising from 70.7% to 78.7%, though it still trails the state average of 91.5%. The school also compares favorably to alternative programs like Continuous Learning Center, which has a 4.6% graduation rate. When compared to peer schools serving similar poverty levels, such as CF Vigor High School (12.41% math proficiency) and Ben C Rain High School (10.83% math proficiency), Williamson still underperforms, indicating that while poverty is a factor, other schools achieve better outcomes with similar populations. The school spends $10,819 per student, higher than Davidson's $8,271, suggesting resource allocation and student engagement strategies may need attention.
