Summary

Tallassee High School is a mid-sized public high school in Tallassee, AL, serving 474 students in grades 9-12 within the Tallassee City district, which ranks in the 61st percentile statewide.

For parents, the most striking thing about Tallassee High is its uneven academic profile. The school has shown it can excel in math—in the 2024-2025 school year, 11th-grade math proficiency hit 31.78%, well above the state average of 23.71%. However, English proficiency is a persistent weak spot, with only 23.08% of students proficient compared to the state's 33.73%. This "tale of two subjects" suggests the school's instructional strengths are not evenly distributed. There's also a notable gender gap: the school ranks in the 60th percentile for male students but only the 42nd percentile for female students, a pattern that has held steady for three years. On a positive note, the school has made dramatic progress with its African American students, jumping from the 28th percentile to the 49th percentile in just one year—a sign that targeted efforts can yield real results.

Compared to nearby schools, Tallassee is a clear leader among its immediate neighbors. It outranks Reeltown High School (203rd), Booker T Washington High, and Loachapoka High School, all of which rank in the bottom 20% of the state. However, it trails the larger, more affluent schools in the region, such as Wetumpka High School (90th percentile) and Pike Road High School (88th percentile). One of the school's biggest success stories is chronic absenteeism, which has plummeted from 26.1% in 2021-2022 to just 7.8%—far better than the state average of 12%. The main concern is the graduation rate, which has declined for three straight years to 87.7%, now below the state average of 91.5%. Overall, Tallassee is a solid mid-tier school with clear areas for growth and a track record of responding well to targeted interventions.
