Elementary Schools in Coffee County

New Brockton Elementary School is the only elementary school in Coffee County included in this analysis, serving grades PK through 5 with 727 students in a rural Alabama district ranked 27th out of 139 districts statewide.

New Brockton Elementary is a solid, above-average school, ranking 201st out of 680 elementary schools in Alabama (70th percentile) for the 2024-2025 school year. The school consistently outperforms state averages in English Language Arts, with 5th graders achieving a 73.39% proficiency rate in 2024-2025 and 70% in the most recent data. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 6.7% is nearly half the state average of 12.0%, indicating strong student engagement. However, the school shows notable volatility in math scores. Most concerning is a dramatic drop in 4th-grade math proficiency, falling from 52.25% to just 34.51%—now below the state average of 42.07%. This is the only subject and grade level where the school falls below state benchmarks, making it a clear area of concern. Meanwhile, 5th-grade math jumped to 61.82%, well above the state average, suggesting inconsistent math instruction or cohort-specific challenges.

While New Brockton outperforms the state overall, it generally trails its own district averages—for example, the district's 4th-grade math proficiency is 49.18% compared to the school's 34.51%. With 49.52% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch and a student-teacher ratio of 18.8, the school maintains strong ELA results and low absenteeism despite economic challenges. Per-student spending is $7,712. For parents, this school offers a stable, above-average education with particular strength in reading, but the math volatility—especially the 4th-grade decline—warrants attention and may indicate a need for targeted support in that subject.
