Ragland High School has a 90.0% four-year graduation rate, which is a positive indicator of student success. However, the school has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 14.8%. Academically, Ragland High School's test scores in mathematics, science, and English language arts were generally lower than the St Clair County and Alabama state averages across multiple grade levels, suggesting academic performance may be an area of concern. The school has a high percentage of students (80.2%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite these challenges, Ragland High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15:1, which could be beneficial for providing more individualized attention to students. Additionally, the school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $11,810, which is higher than the state average. These factors suggest the school may be making efforts to create a more supportive learning environment for its students, though the data does not indicate if these efforts are translating into improved academic outcomes.
