Summary

Fruitdale High School is an alternative public school in Fruitdale, Alabama, serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 344 students. As part of the Washington County School District, which is ranked 89 out of 135 districts in the state, Fruitdale High School has shown some notable strengths and challenges.

One of the school's most impressive achievements is its exceptional graduation rate, which reached 100% in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the district and state averages. This is a remarkable accomplishment, as alternative schools often face difficulties in maintaining high graduation rates. However, the school has also grappled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.8% to 38.3% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages and may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance.

Academically, Fruitdale High School has shown mixed results, with lower proficiency rates in mathematics compared to the district and state, but more competitive performance in English language arts. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45.8% to 77.05% in recent years, indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may contribute to the academic challenges. However, the school's per-student spending of $9,641 in the 2018-2019 school year is slightly higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio has improved from 17 in 2021-2022 to 14.9 in 2023-2024, suggesting a commitment to supporting its students.
