Summary

Andalusia Elementary School in Andalusia, AL, serves 1,082 students from Pre-K through 6th grade within the highly rated Andalusia City district, which ranks in the 81st percentile statewide.

This is a school on a remarkable upward trajectory. Over the past decade, Andalusia Elementary has climbed from a 2-star rating to a consistent 4-star performer, now ranking in the 84th percentile of Alabama elementary schools. The academic results are striking: 3rd-grade math proficiency sits at 73% compared to the state average of 45%, and 4th-grade science proficiency reaches 70% versus the state's 50%. What truly sets this school apart, however, is its success with all students. Special education students rank in the 88th percentile, and students from low socio-economic backgrounds rank in the 83rd percentile—both exceptionally high. The school also boasts a chronic absenteeism rate of just 5.6%, less than half the state average of 12%, which points to strong family engagement and a welcoming environment. This is especially impressive given that 54% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Compared to nearby options, Andalusia Elementary holds its own. It outperforms Fleeta School in the Covington County district by a wide margin—4th-grade math proficiency is 63% versus Fleeta's 19%. It also has a significantly lower chronic absenteeism rate than Opp Elementary School (5.6% vs. 9.9%) and serves a wider grade span. While Straughn Elementary School is comparable in ranking, Andalusia achieves these results with a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The one area for growth is upper elementary math, where 6th-grade proficiency (46%) lags behind 3rd grade (73%), though it still exceeds the state average. Overall, this is a school that delivers exceptional results for all its students.
