Summary

US Jones Elementary School in Demopolis, AL, serves 431 students in grades 3 through 5 and is part of the highly-rated Demopolis City school district, which ranks in the top 25% of Alabama districts. The school has earned a consistent 3-star rating and currently ranks in the 63rd percentile statewide, showing steady improvement over the past several years.

Academically, US Jones stands out for its strong math performance, exceeding state averages in every grade level—most notably in 4th grade, where 53% of students are proficient compared to 42% statewide. English scores are also at or above state averages, with 5th graders particularly strong at 75% proficiency. When compared to nearby schools, US Jones is a clear regional leader. For example, Greensboro Elementary School (about 19 miles away) has just 11% proficiency in 5th-grade math versus US Jones' 47%. Similarly, Linden Elementary School shows dramatic drops in performance between grades, while US Jones maintains consistent scores across all three grade levels. The school also pairs with Westside Elementary School in the same district, which serves younger students (PK-2) with similar demographics and attendance patterns.

One of the school's most impressive achievements is its dramatic reduction in chronic absenteeism, dropping from 22.5% in 2021-2022 to just 8.9%—now below both district and state averages. The school also excels in serving specific student groups, with strong statewide rankings for its students and particularly notable success with English Language Learners, who ranked in the 98th percentile. While female students outperform male students by a significant margin, and special education services have room for improvement, the school has shown meaningful gains for students from low-income families, improving from the 36th to 50th percentile in just one year. With a student-to-teacher ratio of 15.9:1, families can expect a solid, improving educational environment that consistently outperforms neighboring rural schools.
