The district's alternative virtual school, Alabama Virtual Academy at Eufaula City Schools, consistently underperforms compared to other schools in the district and the state.
The data reveals significant racial disparities in student performance, with African American and Hispanic students generally underperforming compared to their White and Asian peers. Additionally, the high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients across the district suggest a strong correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with schools serving more economically disadvantaged students tending to have lower test scores and rankings.
