Flags show magnet, charter, alternative and virtual schools. Some campuses — early college and specialized academies among them — also admit by application, and this page cannot yet identify all of them. Check with the district before assuming a school is open to your address.

How to read this. Alabama suppresses results for groups with too few students tested, marking them with an asterisk. Schools without a reportable Black student result are excluded rather than shown as zero — 1,031 of Alabama's schools have reportable data. Because every state sets its own proficiency standard, Alabama figures should not be compared against another state's.
