Summary

Union Springs Elementary School is a public elementary school in Union Springs, Alabama, serving 537 students in grades PK-4. The school is part of the Bullock County School District, which is ranked 120 out of 135 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Union Springs Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Alabama elementary schools based on academic performance, receiving a 0-star or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Native American and English Language Learner students performing relatively better than African American, Hispanic, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, who all rank in the bottom 25-40% of their respective subgroups statewide. Additionally, Union Springs Elementary has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 14.8% to 43.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

The closest comparable school is George Washington Carver Elementary School in Tuskegee, located about 18 miles away. While George Washington Carver Elementary also serves a high-poverty student population, it appears to perform slightly better than Union Springs Elementary on state assessments and has a lower chronic absenteeism rate. The school's relatively low per-student spending of $9,602 in 2018-2019 and high student-teacher ratio may be contributing factors to its poor academic outcomes, as it may limit the school's ability to provide the necessary resources and support for student learning.
