Summary

Elba Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Elba, Alabama, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 395 students. The school is part of the Elba City School District, which is ranked 92 out of 135 districts in Alabama and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Elba Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Alabama elementary schools, ranging from 256th to 462nd out of 680-692 schools over the past 10 years, and has maintained a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, indicating below-average performance compared to other Alabama elementary schools. The school has shown stronger performance among male students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, but has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.8% to 22.4% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. In mathematics, Elba Elementary School has generally performed below the state average, while in English language arts, the school has shown more promising results, with proficiency rates often exceeding the state average, particularly in 5th grade. However, the school's science proficiency rates have consistently lagged behind the state average.

Nearby schools, such as Straughn Elementary (Covington County) and Pinedale Elementary (Enterprise City), have generally outperformed Elba Elementary School in terms of statewide rankings, academic achievement, and student group performance. These nearby schools also tend to have lower chronic absenteeism rates and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which are often indicators of socioeconomic challenges. Elba Elementary School's spending per student ($10,647 in 2018-2019) is higher than the state average, but it is unclear how this funding is being utilized to support student learning and address the school's areas of concern.
