Alabama’s K-12 system saw slight improvement on the state’s report card released Thursday afternoon.

The state scored an 87 for the 2024-25 school year, up by two points from the 2023-24 state report card.

“I mean, we’re the highest we’ve ever been. We’re seeing better math and science outcomes and on our state report card, we’re seeing better graduation rates, improved academics, improved achievement and better growth,” Alabama State Schools Superintendent Eric Mackey said after the meeting Thursday.

The report card measures academic achievement, academic growth, graduation rate, progress in English learner proficiency, chronic absenteeism and college and career readiness.

According to the state report card, academic achievement decreased slightly, from 97.13 in 2023-24 to 97.08 — out of a possible 100 points — in 2024-25.
