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.
2024-25 grade: A, 90 points. That compares with a B and 89 points on the 2023-24 card. Huntsville City Schools as a whole earned a B, with 89 points.
| Indicator | 2024-25 score |
|---|---|
| Academic achievement (ELA and math tests) | 63.99 |
| Academic growth | 100 |
| Graduation rate | 97.26% |
| College and career readiness | 93.77% |
| Chronic absenteeism (lower is better) | 9.35% of students |
Huntsville High’s full report card, with results by student group, teachers and spending, is on the state’s report card site. Graduation rate and college and career readiness are reported a year behind, so the 2024-25 card counts the class of 2024.
