Summary:
The city of Phil Campbell, Alabama is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Phil Campbell High School, Phil Campbell Elementary School, and East Franklin Junior High School. These schools serve a predominantly White student population, with Hispanic students making up the second-largest racial group.
Among the standout schools, Phil Campbell Elementary School stands out with relatively high test scores, particularly in English language arts, and a ranking in the top half of Alabama elementary schools. East Franklin Junior High School, despite being an alternative school, also outperforms the Franklin County and state averages in several subject areas, especially in English language arts and math.
However, Phil Campbell High School struggles academically, with lower proficiency rates compared to the county and state in most subject areas and grade levels. This suggests that the district may need to focus on building on the stronger performance at the lower grade levels to improve outcomes at the high school level. Additionally, the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across all schools indicate that the district serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may be a contributing factor to the academic challenges faced by some of the schools.
