Summary

Stapleton School is an elementary school located in Stapleton, AL, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 209 students. It is part of the Baldwin County School District, which is ranked 33 out of 135 districts in Alabama and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stapleton School has consistently outperformed the Baldwin County and Alabama state averages in mathematics and English/language arts proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, 77.42% of 3rd graders at Stapleton School were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 48.5% in Baldwin County and 45.47% statewide. The school's performance is particularly strong in English/language arts, with 89.47% of 6th graders proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to 70.24% in Baldwin County and 56.81% statewide.

While Stapleton School has a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 63.64% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, the school's performance is still impressive, particularly in light of the challenges often faced by schools with higher concentrations of economically disadvantaged students. However, the school has experienced an increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.3% in 2021-2022 to 14.8% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the district average and may be an area for the school to focus on.
