Opelika City

The Opelika City school district in Alabama consists of 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The district's schools display a mix of academic performance, with some standout schools like Northside School consistently outperforming the district and state averages, while others like West Forest Intermediate School struggle to meet proficiency standards.

Among the district's top performers is Northside School, an elementary school that excels in English/Language Arts, with 70% of 3rd and 4th graders proficient or better, compared to 59.54% and 53.94% for the Opelika City district and 62.8% and 58% for the state. The district's high school and middle school, Opelika High School and Opelika Middle School, have maintained average 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger, with the high school showing signs of improvement and the middle school's science proficiency rates slightly above the state average.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance and socioeconomic status across the district. Schools with higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students, such as Carver Primary School with an 89.38% free/reduced lunch rate, tend to have the lowest proficiency rates. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure all students in the Opelika City district have access to a high-quality education.
