Summary:

The Calhoun County school district in Alabama is home to seven elementary schools serving grades Pre-K through 4th or 6th, with enrollments ranging from 458 to 712 students, and the district itself holds a 3-star rating, ranking 62nd out of 139 districts statewide.

For parents, the standout choice is White Plains Elementary School, which ranks 65th in the state (91st percentile, 5 stars) and has improved an impressive 118 positions over three years. It leads the district in 4th-grade Science (76% proficiency) and 3rd-grade English (84%), while also having the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (5.3%) and the lowest free/reduced lunch percentage (43.6%). Pleasant Valley Elementary School is another strong option, ranking 146th (4 stars) with exceptional consistency, particularly in 6th-grade Math where it beats the state average by nearly 21 points. Alexandria Elementary School is the most improved, jumping 76 spots to 140th, and boasts the district's highest 3rd-grade English score (85%). On the other end, Saks Elementary School is the lowest performer (508th, 1 star), with 6th-grade Math proficiency at just 20.9% compared to the state's 35.2%. Wellborn Elementary School (452nd) and Weaver Elementary School (408th) also struggle, while Ohatchee Elementary School sits in the middle at 266th.

A key takeaway is that spending doesn't predict success—Saks spends the most per student ($9,934) yet performs worst, while White Plains spends the least ($8,696) and performs best. There's also a clear socioeconomic pattern: the top three schools all have free/reduced lunch rates below 53%, while the bottom three exceed 66%. However, Ohatchee breaks this trend by achieving a 61st percentile rank despite a 53.6% rate. Many schools show a significant performance drop between 3rd and 4th grade, and upper grades (5th-6th) represent a critical challenge, with only Pleasant Valley exceeding state averages in 6th grade. The district's overall rating masks a dramatic 443-position gap between its best and worst schools, suggesting significant inequities in educational quality across the area.
