Chickasaw City

The Chickasaw City school district in Alabama consists of 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative virtual school. The district serves a diverse student population with a majority of African American students and high rates of economic disadvantage, as indicated by the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Among the standout schools in the district, Chickasaw City Elementary School stands out with the highest test scores, particularly in English language arts, while Chickasaw City High School has the lowest test scores, with only a small percentage of students proficient in core subjects. The alternative Alabama Destinations Career Academy has a unique student population and significantly lower test scores compared to the state and district averages, but serves a student population with greater economic challenges.

Overall, the Chickasaw City school district faces significant challenges, with consistently lower test scores than the state average, particularly in mathematics. The high levels of economic disadvantage among the student population may be a contributing factor, and the district may need to focus on addressing these disparities and improving academic performance across all its schools.
