Superintendent Eric Mackey said high-poverty schools are showing “remarkable growth” and receiving “Cs” on the report card but remain on the failing list.

Alabama high school students could be required to learn about and take a test about financial literacy, if a bipartisan group of state lawmakers get their way.Rep. Andy Whitt, R-Harvest,
