High Schools in Lanett City

Lanett City, Alabama is home to a single high school, Lanett Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. Based on the available data, Lanett Senior High School appears to be a struggling school, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of high schools in the state of Alabama.

Lanett Senior High School has a student population that is predominantly African American (77.87%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (17.02%) and White (3.83%) students. The school's academic performance is significantly below state averages, with proficiency rates of just 4.17% in mathematics, 10.42% in science, and 8.33% in English for 11th-grade students. This poor academic performance is likely exacerbated by the high percentage of students (94.47%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the higher-than-average spending per student ($12,758) and a slightly lower student-teacher ratio (15.1) compared to the state average, Lanett Senior High School's academic outcomes remain concerning. This suggests that the school may face challenges in effectively allocating and utilizing its resources to support student learning and achievement. Addressing these issues will likely require targeted interventions and support to meet the unique needs of the school's student population and the Lanett City community.
