Summary

Elberta Elementary School in Elberta, AL, is a mid-to-large-sized school serving 1,034 students in grades PK through 6 as part of the Baldwin County district.

Elberta Elementary is a clear academic leader among its immediate peers in Baldwin County. In the 2025-2026 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts were dramatically higher than those of nearby schools like Silverhill School, Robertsdale Elementary School, and Magnolia School. For example, in 5th Grade Math, Elberta's proficiency rate was 60.16%, compared to 29.85% at Silverhill and just 17.78% at Robertsdale. The school also consistently exceeds both the district and state averages in most subjects and grade levels. Notably, Elberta achieves exceptional results with students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the 84th percentile statewide for this subgroup—far above what is typical. The school accomplishes this with relatively efficient spending, at $9,386 per student, which is lower than many of its Baldwin County peers.

While Elberta excels in grades 3-5, its 6th-grade scores, though still above the state average, dip below the district average—a pattern worth noting. The school also faces a challenge with chronic absenteeism at 13.2%, which is higher than the district (11.2%) and state (12.0%) averages. Additionally, the percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch dropped dramatically from 60% to 38% in a single year, reflecting a significant shift in the student population. It's also worth noting that while Elberta is a top performer in Baldwin County, neighboring city districts like Gulf Shores City and Orange Beach City achieve even higher proficiency rates, with Orange Beach Elementary School consistently scoring in the high 80s and 90s. Overall, Elberta Elementary is a high-achieving school that significantly outperforms its immediate peers, with particular strengths in supporting low-income students, though attendance and 6th-grade performance are areas to watch.
