Summary

White Plains Elementary School in Anniston, AL, serves 530 students from Pre-K through 4th grade and has earned a 5-star rating, ranking 65th out of 686 elementary schools statewide (91st percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year.

This school is a standout performer in the Calhoun County district, dramatically outpacing its peers. In 4th grade math, 64.55% of White Plains students are proficient, compared to 48.39% at Alexandria Elementary School, 31.82% at Weaver Elementary School, and just 19.18% at Saks Elementary School. The school also excels in 4th grade science, with 76.36% proficiency—a full 26 points above the state average. Beyond raw scores, White Plains shows remarkable effectiveness with specific student groups, ranking in the top 3% statewide for multi-racial students and the 93rd percentile for male students. The school is also highly efficient, spending less per student ($8,696) than nearly all comparable schools while achieving far better results.

A key driver of this success appears to be attendance. White Plains has slashed its chronic absenteeism rate from 16.6% in 2022-2023 to just 5.3% in 2024-2025—less than half the district rate of 10.1%. This improvement coincides with a dramatic academic surge, including a nearly 22-point jump in 4th grade science proficiency in a single year. While the school excels in most areas, there is room for growth in supporting special education students, where performance has declined from the 90th to 64th percentile. However, given the school's demonstrated capacity for rapid improvement, these areas appear well-positioned for future gains.
