Summary:
The Daleville City school district in Alabama consists of three schools: A.M. Windham Elementary School, Daleville Middle School, and Daleville High School. Unfortunately, the data indicates that none of the Daleville City schools are performing at a high level, with all three schools consistently scoring below the state average on key metrics such as test scores, statewide rankings, and chronic absenteeism rates.
The test scores across the district are particularly concerning, with only 33% of 3rd graders at A.M. Windham Elementary proficient in math, compared to the state average of 45.47%. Daleville Middle School's math proficiency is even lower, with just 4.71% of 8th graders meeting or exceeding standards, far below the state average of 24.53%. Daleville High School also struggles, with only 8.43% of 11th graders proficient in math, versus the state average of 23.71%. These low test scores are consistent across grade levels and subject areas.
Beyond academic performance, the Daleville City schools face other challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates (14.8% across the district) and a significant percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (ranging from 60.46% at Daleville High School to 78.63% at Daleville Middle School). While the district spends a relatively high amount per student and maintains relatively low student-teacher ratios, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes. The lack of progress over time, as evidenced by the schools' consistently low statewide rankings, suggests that the district may need to re-evaluate its approach to addressing the root causes of its performance issues.
