Summary:

The Russell County school district in Alabama is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the data provided, these schools exhibit a range of academic performance, with some standouts like Ladonia Elementary School and Mount Olive Intermediate School leading the way in test scores, while others like Dixie Elementary School and Oliver Elementary School lag behind the district and state averages.

Ladonia Elementary School stands out as the top performer, with significantly higher test scores than the other schools and the Russell County district as a whole. For example, in 2024-2025, 76.19% of 3rd graders at Ladonia Elementary were proficient or better in English, compared to 64.5% in the district and 65.34% statewide. Mount Olive Intermediate School also performs well academically, with test scores above the district and state averages in many areas, including the highest 5th grade English proficiency rates.

While some schools excel, others face challenges. Dixie Elementary School has lower math scores but stronger performance in English and science, while Oliver Elementary School lags behind in multiple subject areas. Across the district, high chronic absenteeism rates and a wide range of free/reduced lunch recipients suggest that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the disparities in academic achievement. Addressing these inequities could help ensure all students in Russell County have access to a quality education.
