Summary

Grove Hill Elementary School is a public elementary school in Grove Hill, Alabama, serving 340 students in grades PK-4 and part of the Clarke County School District. The school has shown mixed academic performance, with some areas of strength and others of concern.

In recent years, Grove Hill Elementary has outperformed the county in 3rd grade math and 4th grade English, but underperformed in 4th grade math and science. The school's performance has fluctuated, with stronger results in some years and weaker in others. Compared to nearby schools, Grove Hill generally performs better than Jackson Intermediate and Joe M Gillmore Elementary, but lags behind Thomasville Elementary in several academic areas. The school's high chronic absenteeism rates and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may be contributing factors to its academic challenges.

Despite these challenges, Grove Hill Elementary has shown relatively stronger performance among its African American and White student subgroups compared to the state averages. However, the school's performance for its Special Education student subgroup is concerning, ranking near the bottom of Alabama elementary schools. With a lower student-teacher ratio than nearby schools, Grove Hill Elementary may have an advantage, but it remains to be seen if this translates into improved academic outcomes for all students.
