Summary

Austinville Elementary School is a public elementary school in Decatur, Alabama, serving 418 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Decatur City School District, which is ranked 82 out of 135 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Austinville Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the Decatur City and Alabama state averages in standardized test scores across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics ranged from 29.03% to 43.48%, while the Decatur City and Alabama state averages were higher. Similarly, the school's English proficiency rates were also lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, Austinville Elementary School has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 6.5% to 17.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the desired benchmark of 10% or less.

When comparing Austinville Elementary School to other nearby schools in the Decatur City district, it becomes evident that the school is underperforming compared to its peers. For example, Eastwood Elementary School and Julian Harris Elementary School have consistently outperformed Austinville in academic measures and have higher state rankings. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and the elevated chronic absenteeism rates at Austinville Elementary School may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance, and implementing evidence-based strategies to address these areas could potentially lead to better outcomes for the school and its students.
