State report card

Alabama grades every public school from A to F each year. The grade comes from a 100-point score built from students’ achievement and growth on state tests in English language arts and math, chronic absenteeism (the share of students who missed 18 or more days), progress in English language proficiency and, for high schools, graduation rate and college and career readiness, according to the Alabama State Department of Education’s report card rules. Alabama does not use CCRPI, the Georgia score.

2024-25 grade: C, 74 points. The 2023-24 card gave South Hampton K-8 a B with 80 points. Birmingham City Schools as a whole earned a C, with 77 points, up from 74.

Indicator 2024-25 score
Academic achievement (ELA and math tests) 57.19
Academic growth 83.33
Chronic absenteeism (lower is better) 11.2% of students
