Summary:
The city of Stevenson, Alabama is home to three schools serving grades K-12: North Jackson High School, Stevenson Elementary School, and Stevenson Middle School. While the elementary and middle schools generally perform at or above the Jackson County and state averages, North Jackson High School struggles academically, with 11th-grade proficiency rates well below the county and state.
Stevenson Elementary School stands out, performing above the county and state in 3rd and 4th-grade English and Math assessments, with 72.22% of 3rd-graders proficient or better in English compared to the county (65.87%) and state (62.8%). Stevenson Middle School also excels, ranking 192 out of 442 Alabama middle schools and outperforming the county and state in 7th-grade English assessments.
However, all three schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 64.69% at Stevenson Elementary to 69.86% at North Jackson High. This, combined with the relatively high student-teacher ratios across the schools, suggests a need for targeted interventions and additional resources to support student success in the Stevenson community.
