Best Public Schools in LaFayette, AL


Summary:

The city of Lafayette, Alabama is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 2 high schools (one of which is a virtual academy), and no alternative schools. Overall, the schools in Lafayette struggle academically, with consistently low proficiency rates on standardized tests compared to state and county averages.

None of the Lafayette schools stand out as clear academic performers. Inspire Virtual Academy has a significantly different student racial makeup, with a majority white population, but without more detailed performance data, it's difficult to determine if this school is outperforming the others. The schools serve a predominantly low-income population, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50% to over 95%. This socioeconomic factor may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by the schools.

Across the district, the schools show concerning equity issues, with Lafayette High School and Lafayette Eastside Elementary School having majority African American student populations, while Inspire Virtual Academy has a majority white student population. This disparity suggests the need for further investigation into potential equity concerns within the Chambers County school district.
