Summary:
Thomasville Elementary School is the sole elementary school in Thomasville City, Alabama, serving 427 students in grades PK through 4 in a district ranked in the upper third of the state.
Because there is only one elementary school in this district, all academic results directly reflect this single school’s performance. The standout finding is the school’s exceptional strength in English Language Arts, where 4th graders posted a 75.36% proficiency rate—nearly 16 percentage points above the state average—and 3rd graders reached 75.81%, also well ahead of the state. Mathematics has shown a dramatic turnaround, with 3rd grade proficiency jumping from 39.74% to 53.97% in just one year, now comfortably above the state average. However, 4th grade math lags at 44.93%, creating a notable grade-level gap that suggests a possible transition issue in the math curriculum. Science performance is solid but modest, at 52.17% proficiency, slightly above the state’s 50.23%.
The school’s overall ranking has improved to its best level yet—70th percentile with a 4-star rating—after a mid-year dip. This upward trajectory is especially impressive given that 65.34% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, yet chronic absenteeism is just 9.7%, better than both the district and state averages. The student-teacher ratio is 16.4:1, and per-student spending data is outdated (from 2018-2019 at $9,853). For parents, this school offers a strong literacy foundation, rapidly improving math scores, and a supportive attendance culture, though 4th grade math and science instruction remain areas to watch for continued growth.
