Summary

Oakman High School is a public high school in Oakman, Alabama, serving 306 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Walker County School District. The school has faced challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 142 out of 353 Alabama high schools in 2016-2017 to 238 out of 374 in the current 2024-2025 school year, earning a 2-star rating.

Oakman High School's performance has varied across different student subgroups, with male students outperforming female students and the school's overall academic proficiency in mathematics, science, and English language arts falling below state and county averages. The school also grapples with a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 11.5% to 18.4% in recent years. Compared to nearby schools like Dora High School and Curry High School, Oakman High School generally performs below its peers in terms of statewide ranking, graduation rates, and academic proficiency.

Despite these challenges, Oakman High School has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 82.8% to 90.0% over the past few years. The school's spending per student ($10,540 in 2018-2019) is also comparable to nearby schools, suggesting that factors other than funding may be influencing its performance. The school's large population of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 64.05% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic outcomes.
