Fixed up issues, formatting, etc. But still a few unknowns due to the messy handwriting. Leaving open
Name of County, Owner of the School, Remarks are tricky. Other than that, it's alright

I wasn't able to figure out the County or the owner of the school building. The current guesses do not exist in Alabama.

Filled in some of the text marked illegible such as "average attendance" "Pupils for"
If unsure of the printed text, refer to other pages without ink smudges to fill in.
also unsure of any of the messy cursive
