Summary

LEAD Academy Building B is an alternative school in Montgomery, AL, serving 394 students in grades 4 through 10 within the LEAD Academy district.

For parents, the most important takeaway is that this school shows a striking split between English and math performance. English scores are relatively strong—4th graders hit 44% proficiency and 8th graders reached 50%, both within about 15 points of the state average. Math, however, is a major concern. Only 18.67% of 4th graders, 3.45% of 6th graders, and 2.99% of 7th graders are proficient, which is 20 to 30 percentage points below state averages. The good news is that 4th grade math has improved dramatically over three years, jumping from 4.35% to 18.67%. Science is a relative bright spot too, with 8th graders scoring 30% proficiency—much higher than their 5% math score, suggesting students can grasp complex concepts even if traditional math instruction isn't clicking.

Attendance is another key factor. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is 20%, which is higher than the state average of 12% and much higher than nearby EDGE Virtual School (0.6%) and AVA Autauga Virtual Academy (0.0%). That said, LEAD's rate improved significantly from 26.9% last year, suggesting recent efforts are working. The school also serves a high-need population, with 78% of students receiving free or reduced lunch. Compared to Childrens Center, LEAD has a much larger class size (26.2:1 vs. 7.9:1). While math remains the most urgent area for intervention, the steady gains in English and elementary math show that progress is possible with continued focus.
