Tarrant High School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Alabama high schools over the past 10 years, with a 0-star or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is well below state averages, with only 1.12% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 23.71%. Tarrant High School also struggles with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 14.8% to 30.9% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Parker High School, Shades Valley High School, and Gardendale High School, the academic performance gap is quite significant. These nearby schools, while not all high-performing, generally outperform Tarrant High School across various metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. Addressing the challenges faced by Tarrant High School will require a comprehensive approach to support the academic and non-academic needs of its predominantly low-income student population.
