Summary

Eclectic Elementary School in Eclectic, AL, is a mid-sized school serving 689 students in Pre-K through 4th grade within the Elmore County district, and it has consistently earned a 4-star rating over the past decade.

This school truly shines in several academic areas. In 4th grade Science, an impressive 68.57% of students scored proficient—a remarkable 18 percentage points above both district and state averages, and nearly double the school's own rate from just three years ago. Third graders also excel, with 80% proficiency in English Language Arts and 62.61% in math, both well ahead of state averages. Perhaps the most striking improvement is in attendance: chronic absenteeism has plummeted from 28.7% in 2023-2024 to just 15.4% in 2024-2025, a 46% reduction that signals a positive shift in school culture. The school also maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 16.8:1, better than nearby Airport Road Intermediate School (19.1:1) and Redland Elementary School (19.7:1).

While the school outperforms many peers—including significantly beating Wetumpka Elementary School in nearly every subject despite similar poverty levels—there is one clear area for attention. Math proficiency drops consistently between 3rd and 4th grade, falling from 62.61% to 48.57% in the most recent year, a pattern seen across multiple years. This suggests a transition challenge that parents may want to ask about. Overall, Eclectic Elementary achieves strong results with a moderate-poverty population (45% free/reduced lunch), spending efficiently at $8,790 per student while delivering outcomes that rival or exceed schools with more resources, making it a solid choice for families in the area.
