The schools in Northport also exhibit a range of racial diversity, with some, like Northside High School, having a predominantly white student population, while others, such as CollinsRiverside Middle School, are more diverse. Additionally, the data shows a correlation between higher free and reduced lunch rates and lower academic performance, suggesting a link between socioeconomic status and student achievement. The wide variation in spending per student, from $6,871 at Echols Middle School to $31,538 at the alternative Lloyd Wood Education Center, may also be a contributing factor to the disparities in school performance across the Tuscaloosa County district.
