Summary:
The city of Tallassee, Alabama is home to three public schools serving students from elementary through high school: Tallassee Elementary School, Tallassee High School, and Southside Middle School. These schools serve a diverse student population, with a majority of white students and significant percentages of African American and Hispanic students, as well as high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the standout schools, Tallassee Elementary School performs above the state average in 3rd and 4th grade English/Language Arts assessments, and maintains a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Southside Middle School excels in 6th grade math and demonstrates strong performance in 5th and 6th grade English/Language Arts, also earning a 3-star rating. The schools generally perform at or above the state average in English/Language Arts, but struggle more in mathematics and science.
Across the Tallassee City school district, the schools maintain relatively consistent funding levels and student-teacher ratios, suggesting a level of equity in resource allocation. However, the high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients indicate the schools may face challenges in addressing the unique needs of their diverse student populations. Overall, the Tallassee school district appears to be performing reasonably well, with opportunities for improvement in mathematics and science instruction.
