Elementary Schools in Covington County

Summary:

The elementary schools in Covington County, Alabama serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the available data, Straughn Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently ranking among the top 25% of Alabama elementary schools over the past three years.

Straughn Elementary's test scores significantly exceed the Covington County and Alabama state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 80.85% of 3rd graders at Straughn were proficient or better in English, compared to 75.88% in Covington County and 65.34% statewide. Additionally, Straughn has a lower chronic absenteeism rate and spends less per student than the other two schools, WS Harlan Elementary School and Fleeta School, which appear to be performing below the county and state averages.

While Fleeta School spends the most per student, it does not translate into better academic outcomes compared to Straughn. This highlights the complexity of the relationship between funding and student achievement. The data also reveals significant disparities in student outcomes between Straughn and the other two schools, suggesting that students at WS Harlan and Fleeta may not be receiving the same level of educational opportunities and resources as their peers at Straughn.
