Summary:
The city of Citronelle, Alabama is home to three schools: McDavidJones Elementary School, Citronelle High School, and Lott Middle School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and are part of the Mobile County school district.
Among the standout schools, McDavidJones Elementary performs above the county and state averages in English/Language Arts test scores and has a relatively high percentage of 5th-grade students proficient in math. Citronelle High School also stands out, with a strong 90% 4-year graduation rate and a relatively low 5.2% dropout rate. However, all three schools struggle with math proficiency, scoring well below state averages across grade levels, which is an area that warrants further investigation and targeted improvement efforts.
The schools in Citronelle face some significant challenges, including high rates of free/reduced lunch eligibility, indicating they serve predominantly low-income communities, and a concerning 14.8% chronic absenteeism rate across all schools. While the district as a whole is rated 2 stars by SchoolDigger, McDavidJones Elementary and Citronelle High have achieved 3-star ratings in recent years, suggesting there may be pockets of excellence that could be leveraged to improve overall district performance.
