Public schools throughout Alabama are required to provide information about themselves to the community in the form of an annual School Accountability Report Card. These report cards provide a variety of data to allow the public to evaluate and compare schools in seven major areas.

• demographic information
• school safety and climate for learning
• academic data
• class size
• teacher and staff information
• curriculum and instruction
• fiscal and expenditure data

• In October 2015, the Alabama State School Board passed administrative code that officially recognized dyslexia as a learning challenge for some of Alabama’s children.
• In 2019, the Alabama legislature passed the Alabama Literacy Act, or ALA, to support schools in improving reading proficiency for all K-3 Alabama students.
• Choctaw County K-3 teachers deliver appropriate grade-level instruction anchored in the science of reading as well as timely, targeted interventions as needed.
• Choctaw County Elementary and Southern Choctaw Elementary use the S.P.I.R.E. program for elementary students who exhibit reading deficiencies or characteristics of dyslexia.
