Summary

Bay Minette Elementary School serves 814 students in grades PK-6 in the Baldwin County area of Bay Minette, AL, operating within the Baldwin County school district. The school has seen a significant decline in its state ranking over the past five years, dropping from the 52nd percentile to the 28th percentile, even as it serves a student population where 65.6% qualify for free/reduced lunch—a rate considerably higher than many nearby schools.

The most striking difference between Bay Minette and its neighbors is in math achievement. For example, only 13.79% of 5th graders are proficient in math, compared to 49.06% at Spanish Fort Elementary School and 55.24% at Rockwell Elementary School. This "5th grade math cliff" has persisted for several years, suggesting a specific challenge at that grade level. On a more positive note, English Language Arts is a relative strength, with 5th grade ELA proficiency at 59.3%, close to the state average. The school also maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.3:1 and spends $12,500 per student—more than several higher-performing peers—yet these advantages haven't translated into academic gains.

Chronic absenteeism is another concern, with a rate of 14.3% in 2024-2025, higher than the district (11.2%) and state (12.0%) averages, though improved from a spike of 24.6% the previous year. When compared to demographically similar schools like Pine Grove Elementary School, Bay Minette actually performs slightly better in most subjects. The school's relative strength in literacy, smaller class sizes, and higher spending suggest that the foundation for improvement exists—the key will be addressing the specific instructional and attendance challenges that appear to be driving the decline.
