Summary

Blountsville Elementary School in Blountsville, AL, serves 648 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 6th grade within the Blount County district, and it is currently a school on the rise after a remarkable academic turnaround.

The most striking thing about Blountsville Elementary is its exceptional student attendance. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 0.1% of students were chronically absent—a rate dramatically lower than the state average of 12.0% and far better than nearby schools like Welti Elementary School (13.8%) or Parkside Elementary School (13.7%). This near-perfect attendance means students are consistently in class, which is likely a major reason behind the school's impressive academic gains. In the 2025-2026 school year, Blountsville jumped from the 36th to the 60th percentile statewide, earning a 3-star rating. This improvement was broad-based, with gains seen across all student groups, including a dramatic leap for special education students (from the 30th to 69th percentile) and low-income students (from the 35th to 65th percentile). The school also shows a unique strength in 4th-grade science, where 75% of students are proficient—well above the state average of 50.23%.

While the school is clearly improving, it still has work to do compared to its highest-achieving neighbors. Locust Fork Elementary (92nd percentile) and Cleveland Elementary School (88th percentile) consistently earn 4- and 5-star ratings with math and English proficiency rates often 20-30 points higher. Blountsville's math scores, for example, range from 28.24% (5th grade) to 46.25% (4th grade), which are below the district average. However, the school's trajectory is far more positive than peers like Susan Moore Elementary School (48th percentile) or Hanceville Elementary School (44th percentile), which haven't shown the same year-over-year gains. Notably, Blountsville achieves this with leaner per-student spending ($7,142) than many peers, suggesting its success is driven by effective teaching and strong student engagement rather than higher funding.
