ABC Elementary has struggled academically, with consistently low proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts compared to the Wilcox County and Alabama state averages. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 601-631 out of 680-684 Alabama elementary schools over the past 3 school years, with a 1-star rating in 2022-2023 and 2024-2025, and a 0-star rating in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts were significantly lower than the Wilcox County and Alabama state averages in the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite these academic challenges, ABC Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.3 to 1 and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 85.05% in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's per-student spending of $15,352 in the 2018-2019 school year was also relatively high compared to the state average. These factors suggest that the school may have the resources to address the academic performance concerns, but further examination is needed to understand how these resources are being utilized and how they can be better allocated to support student success.
