The city of Steele, Alabama is home to a single public elementary school, Steele Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 147 students. Steele Elementary stands out for its low student-teacher ratio of 16.3, the lowest among the 7 elementary schools in the St Clair County School District.

Academically, Steele Elementary performs above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) across all grades, but lags behind the county average.

While the school's racial diversity presents valuable opportunities for cross-cultural learning, the below-average performance in Mathematics suggests an area for improvement. Analyzing the school's funding and resource allocation, as well as implementing targeted interventions, could help address these challenges and better serve the students of Steele Elementary School.
