Summary

Brindlee Mountain Elementary School serves 286 students in grades 3-5 in Arab, AL, as part of the Marshall County school district.

One of the most impressive things about Brindlee Mountain is its exceptional attendance record. Only 0.7% of students were chronically absent in 2024-2025—a remarkable improvement from 12% just three years earlier. This rate is far better than the district average of 3.3% and even beats nearby Arab Elementary School (1.9%). The school also shines when it comes to supporting students with special needs, ranking in the 77th percentile statewide for this group—a 4-star rating that has been steadily improving. Additionally, 4th grade science scores consistently outperform the district, with over half of students proficient in 2025-2026. The school also invests more per student ($13,239) than most comparable schools, including Douglas Elementary School ($8,651) and Arab Elementary School ($7,777).

However, there are areas of concern. Mathematics is a clear weakness, with only 26.47% of 5th graders proficient in math compared to the state average of 39.06%. English scores also dip significantly in 5th grade (52.94% vs. 69.53% statewide). The school's overall ranking sits in the 39th percentile, earning 2 stars, while nearby Arab Elementary School ranks in the 94th percentile with 5 stars. Class sizes are also on the higher side at 21.1:1, compared to 15.1:1 at Robert D Sloman Primary. Finally, the school has seen a significant increase in economic disadvantage, with 61.19% of students now qualifying for free or reduced lunch—up from 45.56% just one year prior. This shift may present new challenges, but the school's success with attendance and special education shows it can achieve dramatic results when focused on a specific goal.
