Summary

Perdido Elementary School is a public school in Perdido, AL, serving 572 students in grades PK through 8 as part of the high-performing Baldwin County district.

Perdido Elementary is a standout academic performer in its region, holding a 4-star rating and ranking in the top 26% of elementary schools statewide. What makes this particularly impressive is how it compares to nearby schools. For example, 4th-grade math proficiency at Perdido is 62%, compared to just 29% at Bay Minette Elementary School and 17% at Pine Grove Elementary School. Even the best-performing school outside the district, Huxford Elementary School, ranks lower at the 57th percentile statewide. Perdido is especially effective with students from low-income backgrounds—over half of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch, yet these students rank in the 81st percentile statewide, a remarkable achievement compared to schools like Rachel Patterson Elementary School in the Escambia County district, which has a higher poverty rate but ranks in the 8th percentile overall.

The school has also shown impressive resilience and improvement. After a dip in performance in the 2024-2025 school year, Perdido rebounded strongly, with 8th-grade science proficiency jumping from 34% to 54% in just one year. Chronic absenteeism has been cut nearly in half, from 21% to 12%, now below both district and state averages. The school excels in early-grade math, with 3rd and 4th graders significantly outpacing state averages. One area for future focus is the middle grades, where proficiency tends to decline—a common pattern, but one that is more pronounced at Perdido than the district average. Overall, this is a school that delivers strong results for all students, particularly those who face the greatest challenges.
