Summary

Oneonta High School in Oneonta, AL, serves 401 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the highly-rated Oneonta City district, which ranks in the 84th percentile statewide. This is a school that has earned a 4-star or 5-star rating every single year for the past decade, placing it consistently among the top 25% of high schools in Alabama.

The most impressive statistic here is the graduation rate. At 99.1%, it's nearly 8 points above the state average and the highest among all nearby schools. To put that in perspective, Ashville High School, just 15 miles away, graduates only 84.1% of its students. Even strong performers like Hayden High School (98.5%) and Susan Moore High School (97.4%) fall short. Oneonta also shines in science, with 56.57% of 11th graders scoring proficient—a full 20 points above the state average and the highest among all nearby schools, including Springville High School, which edges out Oneonta in overall ranking but trails in science.

What truly sets Oneonta apart, though, is how well it serves students from low-income families. With about 40% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school ranks in the 95th percentile statewide for this subgroup—a remarkable achievement that suggests effective support systems are in place. The school also maintains a favorable 15.6:1 student-teacher ratio and does all of this while spending less per student ($9,526) than many lower-performing peers like Ashville ($13,515). Chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 16.3% to 7.8% in just three years. While math proficiency (33.33%) offers room for growth, Oneonta's combination of elite graduation rates, strong science instruction, and exceptional outcomes for economically disadvantaged students makes it a standout choice in the region.
