Summary:
The elementary schools in Ozark City, Alabama serve students from grades K-5. The data set provided information on two schools in the district: Joseph W Lisenby Primary School and Harry N Mixon Intermediate School.
Of the two schools, Harry N Mixon Intermediate School stands out for its strong academic performance, with students scoring above the state average in several subject areas on the Summative Assessment. In 2024-2025, 52.76% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 45.47%. The school also outperformed the state in 4th and 5th grade English/Language Arts. In contrast, Joseph W Lisenby Primary School has seen a decline in its performance, dropping from a 4-star rating to a 2-star rating in recent years.
Both schools face challenges, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting socioeconomic challenges in the district. Additionally, both schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, at 14.8% for each school, which is an area that could benefit from further investigation and targeted interventions.
