Ranburne High School stands out as the stronger performing school, ranking 164 out of 378 Alabama high schools and outperforming the Cleburne County and Alabama state averages in key academic assessments.

The high school also spends more per student at $9,570, while the elementary school spends $8,234 per student, indicating a potential funding imbalance between the two schools. Ranburne Elementary School's statewide ranking has also declined from 106 out of 687 Alabama elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 281 out of 684 in 2023-2024, suggesting a potential decline in performance.

Overall, the Ranburne school district faces challenges related to racial homogeneity and socioeconomic factors, with both schools having a very high percentage of white students and a significant portion of students coming from low-income households. While Ranburne High School stands out as the stronger performing school, the district as a whole may benefit from addressing these systemic issues to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
