Alice Coachman Elementary School has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating that all students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.5 to 14.4 students per teacher over the past few years, which is lower than some of the nearby schools.
