Summary

Winterboro High School is a small public school in Alpine, AL, serving 380 students in grades 6-12 within the Talladega County school district. The school has shown meaningful improvement recently, climbing from the bottom 16% of Alabama high schools in 2022-2023 to the 34th percentile in 2025-2026, though it still ranks in the bottom third statewide.

One of the school's standout strengths is its consistently high graduation rate. At 93.3% for 2024-2025, Winterboro exceeds the state average of 91.5% and has maintained rates above 97% for three consecutive years. This is particularly impressive given the school's below-average test performance, suggesting strong support systems that keep students on track. The school has also shown dramatic improvement with economically disadvantaged students, jumping from the 10th percentile to the 53rd percentile in just one year. However, math proficiency remains a challenge in middle grades—only about 6-7% of 7th and 8th graders score proficient, well below state averages. Encouragingly, by 11th grade, math proficiency (24.3%) actually exceeds the district average and approaches the state average, suggesting effective remediation. English performance tells a different story: 6th and 7th graders nearly match state averages, but 11th grade English proficiency (10.8%) is less than one-third of the state average (33.7%).

Compared to nearby schools, Winterboro ranks lowest among the three Talladega County high schools within 20 miles—behind Munford High School (206th) and Childersburg High School (219th)—though its 11th grade math scores actually beat Munford's. The school spends $13,197 per student, significantly more than Munford ($9,933) and Pell City High School ($9,837), yet outcomes don't always reflect that investment. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 25.1% to 14.7% but still exceeds district and state averages. With only 380 students, the school's metrics can swing dramatically from year to year, so the recent upward trend—while promising—should be viewed with cautious optimism.
