That figure sits 5% above the Alabama state mean of 17.8:1, signalling larger average class loads than peers in the same state. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.7:1, it is 19% higher, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.

The free-lunch share is 21% below the Alabama average and 10% below the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 571 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 24.3% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Enterprise City spends $11,045 per pupil district-wide, below the Alabama average of $12,491 and below the national average of $16,593.
