Summary:
The city of Hackleburg, Alabama is home to two schools: Hackleburg Elementary School and Hackleburg High School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and are part of the Marion County school district.
While Hackleburg's schools have a significantly higher percentage of white students compared to the state average, their academic performance lags behind. Both Hackleburg Elementary and Hackleburg High have lower test scores, particularly in mathematics, with only 22.73% of 3rd graders at the elementary school proficient in math, compared to 50.79% in the county and 42.16% statewide. Additionally, the schools are ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in Alabama, suggesting broader challenges facing the district.
Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as both schools have high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 69.04% and 70.27% respectively. This, combined with the lower academic performance, indicates that the Hackleburg schools may be facing significant challenges in providing quality education to their students. Targeted interventions and support, as well as a closer examination of the factors contributing to these disparities, could be crucial in improving the educational opportunities for students in Hackleburg.
