Summary

Bay Minette Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 804 students in grades PK-6 in Bay Minette, Alabama, which is part of the Baldwin County School District. While the district is ranked 33 out of 135 in the state and has a 4-star rating, Bay Minette Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the county and state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 14.29% to 30.68% across grades 3-6 in 2024-2025.

The school faces several challenges, including a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 77.11% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. This is much higher than the nearby schools, such as Spanish Fort Elementary, Stonebridge Elementary, and Rockwell Elementary, which significantly outperform Bay Minette Elementary on academic measures. Additionally, Bay Minette Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, from 333 out of 687 Alabama elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 439 out of 680 in 2024-2025, with a 2-star rating.

The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.2% to 24.6% over the past few years, which is above the state average. While the relatively high per-student spending at Bay Minette Elementary ($12,500 in 2018-2019) suggests that resources alone may not be the primary driver of the school's underperformance, the challenges the school faces, including equity concerns and community factors, will likely require a multifaceted approach to address and improve student outcomes.
