Summary:
Summerdale, Alabama is home to a single elementary school, Summerdale School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 617 students. The school is part of the Baldwin County school district, which is ranked 33 out of 135 districts in the state of Alabama and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Summerdale School has consistently struggled with academic performance, with proficiency rates on the Summative Assessment tests that are generally lower than the Baldwin County and Alabama state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's statewide SchoolDigger ranking has fluctuated between 357 and 464 out of 680-684 Alabama elementary schools over the past three school years, with a consistent 2-star rating. This suggests that the school is facing significant challenges in meeting academic standards and may need to implement targeted interventions or strategies to improve student learning.
Additionally, Summerdale School has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 82.66% in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges and could require additional resources and support to address the unique needs of the student body. The school's relatively high student-teacher ratio of 17.5 students per teacher may also suggest that the school is not adequately staffed to provide personalized attention and support to its students, which could further exacerbate the academic performance issues.
