There were 11 Asian students enrolled in Walker County schools in the 2023-24 school year, the same number as the previous year, according to the Alabama Department of Education.

Data showed that Walker County welcomed 9,697 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, Asian students comprised 0.1% of the student body to be the least represented ethnicity in the county.

Jasper High School was the only school in the county which enrolled Asian students, welcoming 11 students in the 2023-24 school year.

Alabama ranks 50th among U.S. states for public education, according to the 2024 World Population Review, placing as the second worst in overall school performance—just above Arizona, which ranked last. The ranking reflects weak outcomes across K-12 performance, school funding, higher education quality, and safety, with particularly poor marks for test scores, graduation rates, and school resources.
