Summary:
The city of Hueytown, Alabama is home to 4 public schools serving students from elementary through high school: Hueytown High School, Hueytown Middle School, Hueytown Primary School, and Hueytown Intermediate School. Unfortunately, the data shows that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state and county averages across a range of key metrics.
None of the Hueytown schools stand out as high-performing, with all four ranking in the bottom 25% of their respective grade levels in Jefferson County. Hueytown High School and Hueytown Middle School are the lowest performers, ranking in the bottom 20% of Alabama high schools and middle schools. Proficiency rates on state assessments are very low, with most schools scoring 10-20 percentage points below the state average in math, science, and English. The schools also serve a predominantly low-income student population, with 61-79% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
While the per-student spending levels are not extremely low, they are still below the state average and may not be adequate to provide the resources and support needed for these students. Addressing the underlying socioeconomic and resource challenges will likely be key to improving academic outcomes in the Hueytown school district. Comparing Hueytown's schools to those in nearby districts could also provide helpful context and identify any regional factors influencing the schools' challenges.
