Summary

Booker T Washington Magnet High School is a public magnet school in Montgomery, AL, serving 492 students in grades 9-12 within the Montgomery County district.

This school stands out dramatically from its neighbors. While nearby comprehensive high schools like Carver Senior High School and Percy Julian High School post single-digit proficiency rates in most subjects, Booker T Washington achieves 29% proficiency in math, 39% in science, and an impressive 61% in English—more than double the district average. The school also boasts a 100% graduation rate, compared to the district average of 80.4% and rates as low as 48.6% at McIntyre Comprehensive Academy. Chronic absenteeism (17.1%) is far better than peers like Johnson Abernathy Graetz High School (53.9%), though it has risen from 4.8% in 2022-2023.

What makes this school particularly noteworthy is its success with economically disadvantaged students—40.65% qualify for free/reduced lunch, a much higher proportion than Loveless Academic Magnet Program High School (17.51%), which ranks #1 in the state. Booker T Washington earns 5-star ratings specifically for African American and low-income students, ranking in the 93rd-94th percentile statewide for these groups. It also outperforms Stanhope Elmore High School in English despite similar poverty levels. However, there is a concerning trend: state rank has slipped from 11th (2022-2023) to 71st (2025-2026), with proficiency declining across all subjects. The school spends $12,350 per student—far less than McIntyre's $38,362—yet achieves dramatically better outcomes, suggesting effective use of resources.
