Summary

Sylvania School is a PK-12 school in Sylvania, AL, serving 915 students within the DeKalb County district, where about 58% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Sylvania has several clear strengths worth noting. The graduation rate is a standout at 94.0% for 2024-2025, which beats the state average of 91.5% and has climbed steadily from 86.4% just a few years ago. The school also shines in middle school science—58.82% of 8th graders scored proficient in 2025-2026, well above both the district (45.65%) and state (54.12%) averages. Upper elementary math is another bright spot, with 4th grade proficiency at 46.38% and 5th grade at 44.44%, both exceeding district and state levels. Additionally, 11th grade English proficiency (30.95%) outpaces the district average by nearly 9 points. Chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 20.6% in 2021-2022 to 11.8% now, which is below the state average and suggests a more engaged student body.

However, there are areas of concern. Seventh grade is a notable weak point—only 8.51% of 7th graders were proficient in math, far below the state average of 24.46%, and English proficiency at that grade also lags significantly. Test scores also show considerable year-to-year swings, which may reflect small class sizes. Compared to nearby schools, Sylvania holds its own in some areas but trails others. For instance, Plainview School has stronger early-grade English scores and a higher graduation rate (97.6%), while Fyffe High School leads in 11th grade math and science. That said, Sylvania outperforms Valley Head High School in several metrics and spends less per student ($9,320) than many neighbors, suggesting efficient use of resources. Overall, Sylvania offers a solid education with notable strengths in science and math, though 7th grade support may be worth investigating.
