Summary:

St Clair County, Alabama is home to 7 elementary schools serving approximately 3,732 students across grades PK-6, with the St Clair County district ranking 69th out of 139 districts statewide (50th percentile, 3 stars).

For parents exploring options, Springville Elementary School stands out as the clear academic leader with a 4-star rating and a state rank of 137 out of 686 schools (80th percentile). It excels in English Language Arts, with 3rd graders hitting 85.21% proficiency—well above the district's 77.62% and state's 64.75%. Interestingly, Springville achieves this while spending the least per student ($7,511) and having the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (23.49%). Meanwhile, Steele Elementary School, the smallest school at just 141 students, boasts the district's best chronic absenteeism rate at 1.5% (vs. 9.9% district average) and the highest 4th-grade science proficiency at 81.25%. Margaret Elementary shows steady improvement, rising from the 70th to 77th percentile, with strong math scores—56.57% proficiency in 3rd grade, outpacing the state by nearly 12 points.

However, challenges exist. Odenville Intermediate School struggles significantly, with 3rd-grade math proficiency at just 24.81%—nearly 20 points below the state average—despite serving the same community as Odenville Elementary School (PK-2). Ashville Elementary School also shows a concerning 20-point drop in its state percentile ranking (72nd to 52nd) in one year, despite having the most favorable student-teacher ratio (14.8:1). District-wide, English Language Arts is a clear strength, with most schools exceeding state averages by 10-20 points, but math performance is inconsistent—only half the schools beat the state average. Chronic absenteeism varies widely, from Steele's exceptional 1.5% to Margaret's 11.5%, suggesting school culture plays a bigger role than spending alone. Moody Elementary School offers solid all-around performance, ranking in the 77th percentile with strong ELA (82.46%) and above-average math (48.54%).
