Alabama lists eight Mobile County schools as ‘failing,’ but official tout improvements
Schools Superintendent Chresal Threadgill said in a prepared statement that the pandemic created severe challenges for learning.
“Considering all the unprecedented circumstances of the last few years, and considering Mobile County Public Schools has 90 schools, with only seven schools and one alternative school deemed as failing, we have room for both celebration and room for needed improvement,” he stated. Neither Vigor nor Booker T. Washington appeared on the 2019 lists. But Threadgill pointed to two schools, Calloway-Smith Middle and Chastang-Fournier K-8 School, that came off the list. Chastang-Fournier had been on the list since its inception.
“School leaders made a concerted effort to improve student achievement, and their success is an example to other schools of what is possible with regard to improving student achievement in the days to come,” he stated.“As for the schools on the list, we acknowledge the need for significant improvement in these schools,” he said in the statement. “We have already put several measures in place to assist the schools with academic achievement.
Baldwin County did not have any schools on the list, nor did any of the municipal school systems in Mobile and Baldwin counties. Several other southwest Alabama schools did make the list, however. They include Escambia County High School and W.S. Neal High School in Escambia County; Clarke County and Jackson high schools in Clarke County; Choctaw County High School; and Monroe County High School.Download the FOX10 Weather App.
