Best Public Schools in Letohatchee, AL

Summary:

The city of Letohatchee, Alabama, is home to a single high school, Calhoun High School, which serves grades 9-12 and has a total enrollment of 192 students. The school is part of the Lowndes County School District, which is ranked 123 out of 137 districts in the state and has a low 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Calhoun High School faces significant challenges, with a predominantly African American student population (93.75%) and a very high percentage of students (96.35%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's academic performance, as measured by Summative Assessment proficiency rates, is alarmingly low compared to state and county averages, suggesting that students are struggling to meet academic standards. Additionally, the school has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 312 out of 367 Alabama high schools in 2021-2022 to 372 out of 378 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 1 star to 0 stars over the same period.

Despite the higher-than-average spending per student at $14,855 for the 2018-2019 school year, the school's academic performance remains poor, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning. The school's student-teacher ratio of 16:1 is within the typical range for high schools, but the overall findings suggest that Calhoun High School is facing significant challenges that require a comprehensive review of its strategies, resource allocation, and support systems to address the root causes of the observed issues and improve outcomes for the students.
