Summary:
The Attalla City school district in Alabama has only one high school, Etowah High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. Despite being the sole high school in the district, Etowah High School has shown significant improvement in its academic performance and statewide ranking over the past few years.
Etowah High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated, going from #198 out of 367 Alabama high schools in 2021-2022 to #278 out of 371 in 2022-2023, and then improving to #47 out of 378 in 2023-2024. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also improved, going from 2 stars out of 5 in 2021-2022 to 4 stars out of 5 in 2023-2024. Academically, Etowah High School has outperformed the state average in the percentage of 11th-grade students proficient or better in Summative Assessment/Mathematics, Summative Assessment/Science, and Summative Assessment/English in the 2023-2024 school year, though its performance was below the state average in the previous year.
Etowah High School serves a diverse student population, with 70.34% White, 15.47% African American, 8.26% Hispanic, and 5.93% two or more races. However, the school has a high percentage of students (78.81%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $11,236, and it has a student-teacher ratio of 16:1 for the 2022-2023 school year, which are within reasonable ranges but could be compared to state or district averages to better understand the school's resource allocation.
