Summary

Ohatchee Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Ohatchee, Alabama, with a student population of 460. The school is part of the Calhoun County School District, which is ranked 64 out of 135 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ohatchee Elementary School has consistently ranked in the top 30% of Alabama elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 324 out of 680 schools. The school outperforms the Calhoun County and Alabama state averages in several key academic areas, particularly in English Language Arts, where 3rd and 5th-grade students have shown strong proficiency rates. However, the school faces challenges in mathematics, with proficiency rates dropping in the upper elementary grades. Additionally, Ohatchee Elementary School has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to the state average, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to the school's higher chronic absenteeism rates.

When compared to nearby schools, Ohatchee Elementary School generally outperforms Wellborn Elementary and Weaver Elementary, but lags behind the higher-performing Alexandria Elementary School. This suggests that Ohatchee Elementary could learn from the practices and strategies employed by the top-performing school in the region to continue improving and better support the academic growth of its students.
