Summary:
Pelham City, Alabama is home to two strong-performing elementary schools, Pelham Ridge and Pelham Oaks, which serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The Pelham City school district is ranked 39th out of 135 districts in Alabama and rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Both Pelham Ridge and Pelham Oaks are strong-performing schools, with Pelham Oaks consistently ranking higher than Pelham Ridge in the statewide school rankings. Pelham Oaks stands out with particularly high proficiency rates in 4th and 5th grade English/Language Arts, exceeding the Pelham City and Alabama state averages by a significant margin. While both schools perform above the state average in Mathematics, there may be room for improvement, as the proficiency rates are not as high as in English/Language Arts.
The data also suggests that Pelham Oaks serves a more economically disadvantaged population, with a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to Pelham Ridge. This could be an important factor to consider when analyzing the schools' performance. Additionally, the difference in per-student spending between the two schools may indicate variations in resource allocation, which could be an area for further investigation to understand its potential impact on student outcomes.
