Summary:

Virgil Grissom High School is a public high school in Huntsville, Alabama, serving 1,974 students in grades 9-12. Despite being part of the Huntsville City School District, which is ranked 83 out of 137 districts in the state, Virgil Grissom High School consistently outperforms its peers, ranking 41st out of 378 high schools in Alabama and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Virgil Grissom High School's academic performance is particularly impressive, with students outperforming the Huntsville City and Alabama state averages on standardized tests. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 45.03% of Virgil Grissom students were proficient or better in Science, compared to 38.96% for Huntsville City and 34.76% for the state. The school's strong performance extends across various student subgroups, including female students (ranked 42nd out of 366) and students with special needs (ranked 17th out of 198). However, the school's performance for English Language Learners and Native American students is relatively lower.

While Virgil Grissom High School outperforms other high schools in the Huntsville City School District, such as Jemison High School, Columbia High School, and Lee High School, it is still outperformed by the high-performing Bob Jones High School, which is in the neighboring Madison City School District. This suggests that factors beyond just the school district, such as the specific school's resources, leadership, and instructional practices, play a significant role in academic achievement.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
