Summary:
The city of Walnut Grove, Alabama has only one public high school, West End High School, which serves grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 370 students. The school's performance has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Alabama high schools over the past three years, with a low 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger.
West End High School faces significant academic challenges, with test scores that are well below the Etowah County and Alabama state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, only 5.17% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 17.8% in Etowah County and 23.12% statewide. The school also serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 74.59% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite these challenges, the data suggests that there is room for improvement at West End High School. By addressing the school's academic and socioeconomic challenges through targeted interventions and support, there is potential to raise student achievement and improve the school's overall performance. However, the consistently low performance and significant gaps in test scores compared to the county and state averages indicate a need for significant efforts to help the school better serve its students.
