Summary

Ashville High School is a small public high school in Ashville, AL, serving 378 students in grades 9-12 as part of the St Clair County school district. The school has experienced a notable decline in its statewide ranking over the past two years, dropping from the 77th percentile in 2023-2024 to the low 50s for the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years.

The most significant academic concern is English proficiency. In the 2025-2026 school year, only 23.08% of 11th graders were proficient in English, compared to 37.88% for the district and 33.73% for the state—a gap of nearly 15 percentage points from the district average. This weakness has persisted for four years, with proficiency rates hovering in the low 20s. Math and science scores are closer to district and state averages. The graduation rate has also declined steadily, from 96.3% in 2021-2022 to 84.1% in 2024-2025, now below both district (85.7%) and state (91.5%) averages. Performance among student subgroups has been volatile—male students ranked in the 88th percentile statewide in 2023-2024 while female students ranked in only the 34th percentile, and support for low-income and special education students has fluctuated dramatically year to year.

There is positive news: chronic absenteeism has been cut by more than half, from 24.1% in 2022-2023 to 11.8% in 2024-2025, now better than the state average. This improvement suggests school leadership is effectively engaging students. However, the contrast with nearby Springville High School, just 10 miles away, is stark—Springville has more than double the enrollment, a much lower percentage of students on free/reduced lunch (21.76% vs. 52.91%), and consistently outperforms Ashville in every subject, including 51.19% English proficiency versus Ashville's 23.08%. Ashville faces significant socio-economic challenges, but its success in improving attendance demonstrates a capacity for positive change that could lay the groundwork for future academic gains.

What people are saying

by a student
Saturday, December 15, 2012

In the school year of 2012-2013 we have already had 8 students be sent to alternative school. 1 for fighting, 1 for sagging, 1 for stealing money from students and teachers, and 5 for knifes and razor blades. In two cases the blades were used. One kid cut 7 people and three of them were cut twice. The other stabbed a boy in the leg. The boy who was stabbed in the leg stole 2000 dollars cash from a student and the crime went unsolved and unpunoshed. The money was for an out of country field trip. A coach was arrested for having sex with and sexting at least 7 confirmed students. 4 days ago there were two fights. What will be done about the schoolthat has a sign in every bathroom that says not to flush dip down the toliets. Why are they allowing us to dip. Another coach and the one who was arrested smoked weed with at least 5-15 football players. There are also racism towards blacks and whites written on walls along with satanic symbols. All of this has happened in less than a 4 month period... Where's the peace? Close Quote
