High Schools in Dallas County

The high schools in Dallas County, Alabama serve students in grades 9-12 and provide a diverse educational landscape. Of the three high schools in the area, Dallas County High School stands out as the strongest performer, with higher test scores and lower spending per student compared to the other two schools.

In contrast, Southside High School and Keith MiddleHigh School face challenges, with significantly lower test scores and higher spending per student. These two schools also have overwhelmingly African American student populations, highlighting the racial disparities in the educational opportunities available in Dallas County.

While higher spending per student does not necessarily translate to better academic performance, the data suggests that the schools with the most resources, Southside High School and Keith MiddleHigh School, are struggling to provide quality education to their students. Addressing these educational inequities and identifying the underlying factors contributing to the performance gaps between the schools should be a priority for the Dallas County school district.
