Summary

Boaz Intermediate School serves 361 students in grades 4 and 5 within the Boaz City district, a mid-sized school in Boaz, Alabama, where about 69% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most encouraging story at Boaz Intermediate is the academic growth students experience between 4th and 5th grade. In the most recent school year, 5th graders significantly outperformed the state average in both math (46% proficient vs. 39% statewide) and English (74% vs. 70%), while 4th graders lagged behind state averages in both subjects. This suggests the school's instructional approach yields strong results over the two years students spend there. The school also shines with its Hispanic students, who rank in the 77th percentile statewide—a remarkable achievement. Additionally, chronic absenteeism is a clear strength: only 10.1% of students are chronically absent, well below the district average of 14.9% and even better than the state average of 12%. This is especially notable given the school's high poverty rate and suggests effective family engagement efforts.

However, there are areas of concern. The school's overall ranking has slipped from the 70th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 52nd percentile recently, and science scores in 4th grade (49%) trail the state average (50%). When compared to nearby schools, Boaz sits in the middle: it outperforms Douglas Elementary (33rd percentile) and Albertville Elementary, but trails Whitesboro Elementary (82nd percentile), which benefits from a more affluent student population. Special education students (43rd percentile) and White students (37th percentile) are areas needing attention. Still, the school operates efficiently at $9,036 per student—less than several nearby schools—while maintaining strong attendance and delivering meaningful academic gains for many of its learners.
