Summary

Barbour County Intermediate School in Louisville, AL, serves 227 students in grades 2 through 6 and is part of the Barbour County district, which ranks in the bottom 12% of Alabama districts.

The most pressing concern at this school is chronic absenteeism. In the 2024-2025 school year, 42.7% of students were chronically absent, compared to the state average of 12.0%. This rate has remained stubbornly high for several years, hovering around 37% in prior years. By contrast, nearby GW Long Elementary School has a chronic absenteeism rate of just 6.7%, and Banks School sits at 8.6%. Academic proficiency is also severely low. For example, only 10.64% of 5th graders were proficient in math in 2025-2026, compared to a state average of 39.06%. English proficiency for 3rd graders was 23.91%, versus a state average of 64.75%. The school also shows a significant gender gap: it ranks in the 15th percentile for male students but only the 2nd percentile for female students, indicating it is far less effective at meeting the academic needs of girls.

Despite these challenges, there are some positive signs. The school's effectiveness for its African American students has improved, moving from the 9th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 18th percentile in 2025-2026. Additionally, the school spends $10,951 per student, which is comparable to the higher-performing Banks School ($11,016) and more than GW Long Elementary School ($7,786). This suggests that funding is not the primary issue; rather, the school must find ways to overcome the high absenteeism and inconsistent year-to-year test scores that have kept it in the bottom 10% of Alabama elementary schools for the past decade. The stark contrast with nearby schools, which achieve proficiency rates 3 to 5 times higher, shows that these challenges are not inevitable for the region.
