It's a list that no one wants to lead. This year, there are 14 Montgomery Public Schools on the state's 'Failing Schools List', more than any other system in the state.

All five of Montgomery’s traditional, non-magnet high schools are on this year’s list.

Montgomery had 11 schools on the list in 2019. Two schools from that list are no longer considered failing. They are Goodwyn Middle School and Highland Gardens Elementary School. In order to be considered a “failing school,” a school has to perform in the bottom 6% based on the Alabama Accountability Act of 2015 based on standardized test scores.Parents who have children in a school that is on the failing schools list have the option to transfer their child to a non-failing school or to send their child to private school, with the possibility of a tax credit to help with tuition.

Here are the other schools in the Alabama News Network viewing area that made the failing schools list:
