Summary:
The Wilcox County school district in Alabama is home to three elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the overall district performance is low, with a ranking of 125 out of 135 districts in the state, some individual schools within the district have shown promising results.
Among the standout schools is F S Ervin Elementary School, which is ranked 567 out of 680 Alabama elementary schools and received a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, the highest among the three schools. F S Ervin Elementary outperformed the Wilcox County and Alabama averages in several test score categories, such as 3rd grade math and 4th grade English. ABC Elementary also performed well, ranking 601 out of 680 Alabama elementary schools and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. ABC Elementary outperformed the county and state averages in 3rd grade math and 3rd grade English.
However, the schools in Wilcox County face several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (14.8%) and generally underperforming the county and state averages in most test score categories. Additionally, all three schools serve a high percentage of students (85.05% to 90%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges in the communities they serve. Addressing these issues and supporting the schools' socioeconomically disadvantaged student populations could be key focus areas for the district to drive meaningful improvements.
