Summary

Robert C Hatch High School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Uniontown, Alabama, with a total enrollment of 415 students. The school is part of the Perry County school district.

While Robert C Hatch High School has a relatively strong 4-year graduation rate ranging from 86.4% to 92.1% in recent years, which is generally higher than the state average of around 80%, the school faces significant challenges. Its test scores are consistently lower than the state and county averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with 0% proficiency in 11th grade math and science in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to state averages of 23.71% and 32.38% respectively. Additionally, the school has extremely high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 14.8% to 40.8% in recent years, much higher than the state average of 15-20%. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 87.71% to 89.68% in recent years, which is much higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the two nearby schools, Francis Marion School and Breakthrough Charter School, have somewhat better performance metrics than Robert C Hatch High School, but still struggle with low test scores and high poverty rates. Despite the school's challenges, its spending per student of $11,263 in 2018-2019 is slightly higher than the state average, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional quality and student engagement, may be contributing to the low academic performance.
