Woodlawn High SchoolMagnet

Woodlawn High SchoolMagnet is a high school in Birmingham, AL with 738 students enrolled in grades 9-12. It is part of the Birmingham City school district. That headcount is above the 491-student average for schools in the district.

On the latest EDFacts assessments, 27% of students met grade-level proficiency in combined math and reading. EDFacts reports this rate at the district level and each state sets its own cut score, so it reads best as a relative marker rather than a verdict on any one classroom. That is 11 points below the 38% average for the Birmingham City school district. Against the 45% Alabama statewide average, the school sits 18 points lower.

Over the last three reported years the district proficiency rate this school inherits has risen by about 39 points. As a high school, it reports a 69% adjusted-cohort graduation rate, the share of first-time ninth-graders who earn a regular diploma within four years.

The student-teacher ratio is 27.3 to 1, near the high end of the national distribution; NCES counts every certified teacher, so this figure includes specialists as well as classroom staff. 91% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income student body. It is a magnet school, a district-run campus with a specialized theme that draws students from across attendance boundaries.
