High Schools in Chickasaw City

There is only one high school located in Chickasaw City, Alabama - Chickasaw City High School. This school serves grades 9-12 and has consistently underperformed compared to other high schools in the state, ranking in the bottom quartile for the past three years.

Chickasaw City High School faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly African American (69.64%) and a very high percentage of students (90.62%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's academic performance is also a concern, with proficiency rates in Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts well below the state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 4.76% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 23.12%.

Despite the school's challenges, there may be opportunities for improvement. The relatively small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 13.1, could be leveraged to provide more personalized attention and support for students. Additionally, targeted interventions and support programs focused on improving academic outcomes in core subject areas may help the school make progress. However, the school's consistently low performance and the significant socioeconomic challenges faced by its student population suggest that a comprehensive approach, involving collaboration with the local community and effective resource allocation, will be necessary to address the school's needs and improve educational outcomes.
