Summary

Saint Clair County High School in Odenville, AL, serves approximately 665 students in grades 9-12 as part of the St Clair County school district. This school has made one of the most dramatic turnarounds in the region, jumping from the 29th percentile statewide in 2024-2025 to the 70th percentile in 2025-2026—a remarkable single-year improvement that earned it a 3-star rating.

The school's biggest academic strength is English proficiency, with 41.56% of students meeting standards—well above both the district (37.88%) and state (33.73%) averages. This represents a stunning 25-percentage-point increase from the previous year. Saint Clair County also excels at supporting students with special needs, ranking in the 76th percentile statewide (4 stars), a consistent strength over multiple years. However, chronic absenteeism remains a concern at 16.9%, significantly higher than the district (9.9%) and state (12.0%) averages, and notably worse than nearby Moody High School at just 6.3%. The graduation rate of 87.7% also trails the state average of 91.5%.

Within the district, Saint Clair County sits in the middle of the pack—Springville High School (89th percentile) and Moody High School (82nd percentile) outperform it, while Ashville High School (52nd percentile) trails behind. The school serves a moderate-to-high poverty population, with 47.52% of students receiving free/reduced lunch, and demonstrates solid effectiveness with economically disadvantaged students (68th percentile). The dramatic improvement suggests the 2024-2025 school year was likely an anomaly rather than a sustained decline, and with its history of reaching the 81st percentile in 2015-2016, Saint Clair County has proven it can achieve at a high level. The key question is whether the school can sustain this momentum and avoid the boom-and-bust pattern of its past.
