Elementary Schools in Marshall County

Summary:

The Marshall County school district in Alabama is home to 6 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the schools exhibit a range of academic performance, Kate D Smith DAR Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 253 out of 684 Alabama elementary schools and receiving a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brindlee Mountain Elementary School also performs well, exceeding the Marshall County and Alabama averages in several test score metrics, including 3rd grade math and English, and 5th grade English. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 20.4 may contribute to its academic success.

However, the data also reveals areas of concern across the district, such as consistently high chronic absenteeism rates of 14.8% and varying levels of proficiency in math, science, and English compared to county and state averages. The wide range of free and reduced lunch rates, from 43.15% at Kate D Smith DAR Elementary to 84.87% at Asbury Elementary School, suggests that the schools serve communities with diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, which may impact their resource needs and academic performance.
