Henry County


Summary:

The schools in Henry County, Alabama include 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, serving students from diverse backgrounds. While the district shows some disparities in educational outcomes, one school stands out as a consistent top performer - Headland Middle School.

Headland Middle School is the clear standout, consistently ranking among the top 39-83 middle schools in the state and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms county and state averages on most test score metrics, particularly in English and Science. In contrast, Abbeville Elementary and Abbeville High School appear to be the weaker performing schools, with 1-2 star ratings and test scores significantly below the county and state averages.

The data reveals stark disparities in student demographics and academic performance across the district. The Headland schools have majority white student populations and higher test scores, while the Abbeville schools serve majority African American students and struggle with much lower proficiency rates. These differences correlate with the Abbeville schools' much higher free/reduced lunch rates, suggesting a potential link between socioeconomic status and educational outcomes. Further investigation into the factors driving these disparities could help improve equity and achievement across Henry County.
