Summary

Swift Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Bon Secour, Alabama, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 149 students. The school 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.

Despite its small size, Swift Elementary School faces significant challenges. The school has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the Baldwin County and Alabama averages, and its test scores are significantly lower than the county and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 25% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 48.5% in the county and 45.47% in the state. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 82.55% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Baldwin County district, such as Silverhill School, Robertsdale Elementary School, and J. Larry Newton School, Swift Elementary School consistently underperforms. The school's declining performance and disparities among student subgroups suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for all students.
