Autaugaville is an excellent school. The teachers not only care about teaching they also care about the students. It's not a big school but that's the best part about. Everyone knows each other. Just about everyone, (teachers,students, both of the principals, have good relationships with each other.

About the tests


In 2009-2010 Alabama used the Alabama High School Graduation Exam (AHSGE) to test high school students in reading, math, language, science and social studies. High school students must pass the AHSGE in order to graduate. The AHSGE is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Alabama. The goal is for all students to pass the test.

The different student groups are identified by the Alabama Department of Education. If there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group, the state doesn't report data for that group.
