Summary

Randolph County High School in Wedowee, AL, serves 441 students in grades 7-12 and is part of the Randolph County district. The school has shown steady improvement over the past decade, climbing from the 29th percentile to the 47th percentile in state rankings, though it still trails most nearby schools.

The most pressing concern for parents is the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 18.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average of 12% and more than double the rate at nearby Handley High School (8.7%). This attendance challenge likely contributes to persistent math struggles—only 20.63% of 11th graders are proficient in math versus 27.21% statewide. However, there are bright spots: the school excels with economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 83rd percentile statewide for this group, and 8th grade science proficiency (57.14%) actually exceeds the state average. The school also shows strength in middle school English, with 7th graders outperforming the state average. Graduation rates have improved dramatically from 79.6% to 87% over two years, though they still lag the state's 91.5% average.

Compared to Handley High School—just 12 miles away with a similar poverty rate—Randolph County students see notably lower outcomes across most subjects. Ranburne High School also achieves a 98.2% graduation rate with lower absenteeism. Within the same district, Woodland High School spends nearly 40% more per student ($13,308 vs. $9,511), which may explain some performance gaps. The school's recent improvements in serving all student groups and its strong support for low-income students suggest positive momentum, but addressing attendance and math instruction will be critical to closing the gap with neighboring schools.
