North Highland School in Jasper, AL closed in 2018 after serving grades PK through 11 with a notably low enrollment of 4 students and no reported student–teacher ratio since closure.
The school showed unusually high and likely inaccurate reported proficiency rates in math (20–50%+ range), reading (25–50%+ range), and science (35–55%+ range) in years just before closure, with values inconsistent with typical state averages around 30–50%.
Minority enrollment was 0%, with 100% of students identified as White (Not Hispanic); enrollment remained extremely low, never exceeding 22 students since 2008 and declining to 4 students by closure.
North Highland was eligible for Title I schoolwide status but had no free or reduced–price lunch eligibility after 2014, indicating low reported socioeconomic disadvantage before final years.
As a now–closed Jasper City school, North Highland's demographic and academic data reflect minimal student population and anomalous proficiency rates, limiting meaningful trends as a Union County NJ high school alternative for families.
