High Schools in Coffee County

Coffee County, Alabama is home to a single high school, New Brockton High School, which serves 381 students in grades 9-12. While the school's demographics reflect a diverse student population, its academic performance has been declining in recent years, with proficiency rates in math, science, and English falling below the Coffee County and Alabama state averages.

New Brockton High School's proficiency rates in the 2023-2024 school year were 19.1% in math, 29.21% in science, and 23.53% in English, a significant drop from its statewide ranking of 195 out of 367 schools in 2021-2022, which has now fallen to 160 out of 378 schools. This decline in academic performance is concerning, especially given the school's high percentage of students (57.74%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the school's challenges, its per-student spending of $8,703 and student-teacher ratio of 19.3 to 1 are within typical ranges. However, it's unclear if these resources are being effectively utilized to support student success. The data suggests that New Brockton High School may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning and close the achievement gap, particularly in light of the socioeconomic factors that may be impacting the school's performance.
