Elementary Schools in Hartselle City

Summary:

The Hartselle City school district in Alabama is home to three elementary schools: Crestline Elementary School, Barkley Bridge Elementary School, and FE Burleson Elementary School. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and demonstrate strong academic performance, with proficiency rates exceeding state averages.

Among the three schools, Barkley Bridge Elementary School stands out as the top performer. It is ranked 9th out of 680 Alabama elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and has consistently been in the top 15 over the past three years. Barkley Bridge boasts the highest proficiency rates in mathematics, science, and English language arts compared to the other two Hartselle City schools and the state averages.

While all three schools in the Hartselle City district demonstrate strong academic performance, there are some areas for potential improvement. All three schools have higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, and there are some disparities in free/reduced lunch rates and spending per student across the schools. The district should continue to monitor these metrics and implement strategies to address any equity concerns and improve student attendance.
