Summary

Magnolia School is a public elementary school in Foley, AL, serving 944 students in grades PK through 6 as part of the Baldwin County school district.

Magnolia School has a 2-star rating and ranks in the 36th percentile statewide, which places it below many of its district peers. The most significant challenge is mathematics: proficiency rates are dramatically lower than district averages across all grade levels. For example, only about 15% of 5th graders and 20% of 6th graders were proficient in math, compared to district averages of 43% and 44%. This is a consistent pattern over multiple years. The school also has a relatively high rate of chronic absenteeism (11.8% in the most recent year), though this has improved from 17% the prior year. About 61% of students receive free or reduced lunch, reflecting a high proportion of families with lower incomes. Interestingly, the school shows a clear strength in English language arts, with proficiency rates between 58% and 62% across grades 3-6—much closer to state averages. Additionally, the school performs notably well for its African American students, who rank in the 55th percentile statewide (3 stars), making this the highest-performing subgroup at the school.

When comparing to nearby schools, the picture is mixed. Foley Elementary School, just over 3 miles away, has a nearly identical profile with similar low math scores and a similar free/reduced lunch rate (63%), suggesting these challenges are shared across the Foley area. However, other schools in the same district achieve far better results. Fairhope East Elementary and J Larry Newton School both rank in the 93rd percentile with much lower poverty rates (around 21% and 36%, respectively). Elberta Elementary School also ranks high at the 78th percentile. This geographic divide in outcomes—with Fairhope-area schools outperforming Foley-area schools—appears closely tied to the socioeconomic makeup of each community. For parents considering Magnolia, the school offers relative strengths in reading and serves its African American students well, but math achievement and attendance remain key areas of concern.
