Elementary Schools in Gadsden City


Summary:

The Gadsden City school district in Alabama is home to 8 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance across these schools, with some standouts like Eura Brown Elementary School significantly outperforming the district and state averages, while others struggle to meet basic proficiency levels.

Eura Brown Elementary and Mitchell Elementary School are the top-performing schools in the district, ranking among the best in Alabama and earning 5-star and 4-star ratings respectively from SchoolDigger. These schools boast over 70% proficiency in math and English, low student-teacher ratios, and relatively low rates of free/reduced lunch recipients. In contrast, schools like W.E. Striplin Elementary, Adams Elementary, and Thompson Elementary struggle to meet state standards, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages.

The data also reveals a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with schools serving higher percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients generally performing worse than their more affluent counterparts. Additionally, the schools with more racially diverse student populations tend to underperform the schools with a higher percentage of White students, raising questions about equity and access within the Gadsden City school district. Addressing these disparities in academic achievement and resource allocation could be crucial for ensuring all students in the district have access to a high-quality education.
