Summary:
The city of Carbon Hill, Alabama is home to two schools - Carbon Hill Elementary/Junior High School and Carbon Hill High School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and are part of the Walker County school district.
Carbon Hill Elementary/Junior High School has an enrollment of 492 students and a relatively high percentage of white students (89.84%) compared to the state and county averages. However, the school's performance on state assessments is generally below the county and state averages, particularly in mathematics. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch (70.33%), indicating a relatively low-income student population. In contrast, Carbon Hill High School has an enrollment of 359 students and an even higher percentage of white students (93.31%), but also performs below the county and state averages on state assessments.
Both schools in Carbon Hill face challenges related to academic performance, socioeconomic factors, and resource allocation. The high percentages of students eligible for free/reduced lunch suggest that the student population faces significant economic challenges, which may impact academic outcomes. Additionally, the slightly above or below average spending per student and higher student-teacher ratios at both schools indicate that resource allocation may be an area of concern. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions and support could be crucial for improving educational outcomes for students in Carbon Hill.
