Cf Vigor High School, Prichard AL

Original Research by School Decision on Cf Vigor High School

CF Vigor High School is a regular public high school in Prichard serving grades nine through twelve. It is part of the Mobile County Public School System. The student body is approximately six hundred students, overwhelmingly Black, with a very small number of students from other racial backgrounds. A large majority of the student population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, which is a measure of economic need. Data on students with disabilities and English learners was not reported in the available information.

State testing results for the 2024-25 school year showed proficiency rates that were low across all subjects. In English language arts, less than one in ten students were proficient. In math, fewer than one in twenty were proficient. In science, roughly one in seven students were proficient. Only single-year data was available, so no trend could be assessed. A graduation rate was not found in the data, which may be because the school does not have a reported rate for the most recent year or because it was not yet available for this profile.

The school sits within Mobile County, a large district that serves many communities across the region. No recent strategic changes or initiatives were publicly reported for the district itself, so that context is not available.

Prichard is a residential city with a history tied to shipbuilding and lumber-product manufacturing. The housing stock is modest, and the median home value is low relative to state and national averages, making homeownership more accessible from a purely price standpoint. The city is auto-oriented, connected by interstate highways and a U.S. route that runs through town, and it offers a few municipal parks and two public libraries. The University of Mobile, a private Baptist university, is located within the city limits. The city’s population has been in a steady decline for decades, and no major new housing or commercial development projects were identified in public records. This context matters for families considering long-term investment in the community.

For a family evaluating CF Vigor High School, the most important takeaway is the academic attainment picture. Proficiency rates on state assessments are low across the core subjects, and that is a hard fact for any parent to weigh. The school serves a high-need student population, and that context is relevant to understanding the challenges and the support systems a student may encounter. The school is part of a large county district, which means there are likely district-level resources and programs that a family would want to explore directly with the school, including advanced coursework, career and technical education, and student support services, as no specific program data was included in this profile. A parent considering this school should ask the school administration for the most current information on graduation rates, course offerings, and what academic interventions or enrichment options are available, as those details were not present in the data provided.

Academic performance

How students graduate and prepare for what comes next.

Graduation rate (ACGR)

85-89%Cohort of 145 students · Class of 2021

The federal source publishes a banded range instead of an exact rate when the graduating cohort is small enough that an exact number could risk identifying individual students.

How this school compares to all schools in this state

Each dot is one school’s SY 2020-21 graduation rate, binned by integer rate. Taller columns mean more schools at that rate. This school is highlighted.

373 schools plotted. 7 additional schools' rates are federally suppressed and not shown. Data: EDFacts SY 2020-21.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
