Summary:

The city of Sylacauga, Alabama is home to three elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools, Indian Valley Elementary School, BB Comer Memorial Elementary School, and Pinecrest Elementary School, operate within the Sylacauga City and Talladega County school districts.

Among the standout schools, BB Comer Memorial Elementary School has shown significant improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 413th out of 680 Alabama elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 249th out of 680 in 2024-2025, earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has also performed better than the Talladega County and state averages in several academic areas, such as 4th grade English and 5th grade English proficiency. In contrast, while Pinecrest Elementary School has a lower statewide ranking, it has maintained a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past few years, and its 3rd and 4th grade English proficiency scores are higher than the Sylacauga City and state averages.

Across the three schools, there are some areas of concern, such as high chronic absenteeism rates of 14.8% and significant populations of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 64.55% at Indian Valley Elementary School to 77.6% at BB Comer Memorial Elementary School. Additionally, the differences in spending per student, from $7,962 at BB Comer Memorial Elementary School to $9,857 at Indian Valley Elementary School, may contribute to the variations in academic performance and resources available at each school.
