Summary

Alma Bryant High School is a large public high school in Irvington, AL, serving 1,624 students in grades 9-12 within the Mobile County school district, where 57% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This is a school on a strong upward trajectory. In just three years, Alma Bryant has dramatically reduced its chronic absenteeism rate from 49.1% to an impressive 5.7%—far better than the district (12.8%) and state (12.0%) averages. This improvement has coincided with a jump in its state ranking from the 41st percentile to the 61st percentile, earning a 3-star rating. The school's biggest academic strength is English, where 40.3% of 11th graders are proficient—well above the state average of 33.7%. It also does exceptionally well serving specific student groups, ranking in the 81st percentile for African American students and the 71st percentile for Special Education students. However, math (22.8% proficiency) and science (27.6% proficiency) lag behind state averages, and the school's 85.8% graduation rate, while matching the district, trails the state's 91.5%.

Compared to nearby schools, Alma Bryant is a clear leader. It significantly outperforms Lillie B Williamson High School (7th percentile) and Ben C Rain High School (14th percentile), and it also beats its closest neighbor, Theodore High School (45th percentile), in overall rank, English proficiency, and attendance. Notably, Alma Bryant achieves these results while spending less per student ($8,669) than those lower-performing schools. While it trails higher-achieving district schools like WP Davidson High School (89th percentile) and Baker High School (78th percentile) in math and science, Alma Bryant's efficient use of resources and remarkable attendance gains make it a resilient, improving choice for families in the Irvington area.
