Demopolis City

The Demopolis City school district in Alabama consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from diverse racial and economic backgrounds. While the district as a whole is a relatively strong performer in the state, with a ranking of 37 out of 137 districts, a few schools stand out as particularly impressive.

US Jones Elementary School outperforms the state average in several key academic areas, including math and English proficiency, and is ranked in the top 35% of elementary schools in Alabama. Similarly, Demopolis Middle School significantly outperforms the state average in math proficiency for 6th grade and is ranked in the top 28% of middle schools in the state. These standout schools suggest that the Demopolis City school district has effective teaching practices and resources that contribute to student success.

However, the district also faces challenges, with all four schools having a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 60.54% at Westside Elementary to 69.5% at Demopolis Middle School. This high rate of economic disadvantage among the student population may have implications for the resources and support available to students and their families. The Demopolis City school district has opportunities for improvement, particularly in areas where the schools are underperforming the state average, such as math proficiency at the middle and high school levels.
