Summary

Susan Moore Elementary School in Blountsville, AL, is a mid-sized public school serving 582 students in grades PK through 6 within the Blount County district, which ranks in the top half of Alabama districts.

Susan Moore has some real bright spots, but also some areas that need attention. The most impressive strength is the school's work with English Language Learner (ELL) and Hispanic students—in the most recent school year, these groups ranked in the top 13% and top 28% statewide, respectively, earning 4-star ratings. That's a remarkable achievement and suggests the school has effective, targeted programs for these learners. However, there's a persistent gender gap: boys score significantly higher than girls (56th vs. 36th percentile), a trend that has held for three years. Additionally, the school's largest group of students has seen a sharp decline, dropping from the 37th to the 24th percentile over two years, which is a major factor in the school's overall 2-star rating. Math is also a concern, especially in 6th grade, where only about 14% of students are proficient—a steep drop from 58% in 3rd grade. English Language Arts is generally stronger than math across all grades.

Compared to nearby schools, Susan Moore faces unique challenges. Locust Fork Elementary (16 miles away) and Cleveland Elementary School (10 miles away) both earn 4 and 5-star ratings, with 4th-grade math proficiency around 75% versus Susan Moore's 34%. This gap shows the issues at Susan Moore are school-specific, not district-wide. On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically, dropping from 15.8% to 5.3% in recent years, though it still exceeds the district average. For parents, this is a school with proven strengths in supporting diverse learners, but one where math instruction and closing achievement gaps should be key questions to ask about.
