Ranking / Alabama

Alabama school districts by enrollment

149 of the 18,050 school districts ranked nationally on this measure are in Alabama. The highest-placed is Mobile County, 82 in the country.

Ranks in this table are national. A rank recomputed inside one state would read as a different number for the same school district on its own page, which is how a ranking stops being a fact and becomes a page-level opinion.
