Racial disparities are evident, with Horseshoe Bend High School and Reeltown Elementary having predominantly white student bodies, while Dadeville Elementary and Dadeville High School have a higher percentage of African American students. Socioeconomic challenges are also prevalent, as evidenced by the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across the schools, ranging from 57.31% at Horseshoe Bend High School to 78.74% at Dadeville High School.
