Summary:
The city of Hayneville, Alabama is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Lowndes County school district. While the district as a whole struggles, with a 1-star rating and ranking 123 out of 137 districts in the state, one school stands out - JacksonSteele Elementary School.
JacksonSteele Elementary is the highest-performing school in Hayneville, earning a 2-star rating and ranking 445 out of 684 elementary schools in Alabama. Its students significantly outperform their peers at the other Hayneville schools, as well as the Lowndes County and state averages, in subjects like English and math. JacksonSteele also has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to the other Hayneville schools, which all have over 90% of students on free/reduced lunch.
In contrast, the other Hayneville schools - Central Elementary, Central High, and Hayneville Middle - struggle with extremely low test scores, even compared to the already low Lowndes County and Alabama averages. These schools serve predominantly African American student populations, suggesting significant educational inequities within the district that need to be addressed.
