Summary

Vinemont Elementary School in Vinemont, AL, is a mid-sized PK-5 school within the Cullman County district, serving 487 students in a growing rural community just outside Cullman.

Vinemont has shown impressive, steady improvement over the past several years, climbing from a 2-star rating in 2017-2018 to a consistent 4-star rating for three consecutive years. In the most recent school year, it ranked 187th out of 686 elementary schools statewide—placing it in the 73rd percentile. That puts it well ahead of nearby Good Hope Elementary School (53rd percentile), Fairview Elementary School (58th), and West Point Intermediate School (54th). The school's standout strength is English language arts—reading proficiency is strong across every grade level, with 5th graders hitting 81% proficiency, well above the state average of 69.5%. Vinemont also excels at supporting students who face economic challenges; nearly half the student body qualifies for free or reduced lunch, yet these students perform in the 85th percentile statewide, a remarkable achievement. Special education students also rank in the 85th percentile, showing the school's commitment to inclusive, effective instruction.

The one area of concern is 5th grade math. While 3rd and 4th graders score well above district and state averages in math, 5th grade proficiency drops sharply to just 22.8%—far below the state average of 39%. This has been a consistent three-year trend, suggesting a curriculum transition or instructional challenge that parents may want to ask about. On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has been cut dramatically, from 17.5% to 10.9% in just two years, and the school spends less per student ($8,045) than several comparable schools while achieving better results. For parents weighing options, Vinemont offers a strong, improving academic environment with particular strengths in reading and support for vulnerable students, though the 5th grade math dip is worth monitoring.
