Summary

Airport Road Intermediate School in Coosada, AL, serves 536 students in grades 3-4 as part of the Elmore County school district, feeding from nearby Coosada Elementary just down the road.

This school has a real strength worth celebrating: its work with African American students is exceptional, ranking in the 75th percentile statewide and earning 4 stars—a standout achievement compared to most schools in the region. The school has also made remarkable progress on attendance, cutting chronic absenteeism from 14.5% to just 7.8% in one year, which is now better than both the district and state averages. However, there's a significant concern that parents should know about: students experience a dramatic academic drop between 3rd and 4th grade. While 3rd graders score above the state average in math (49% vs. 45%), 4th graders fall well below (32% vs. 42%)—a 17-point gap that has persisted for several years. This pattern shows up in English and science too, suggesting a systemic issue with the 4th grade experience rather than a one-year problem.

When compared to nearby schools, the differences are striking. Holtville Elementary, just 8 miles away in the same district, ranks in the 80th percentile with 4th grade math proficiency nearly 20 points higher. Pine Level Elementary in Autauga County serves a similar student population but achieves more than double the 4th grade math scores. The school's overall state ranking has declined from the 73rd percentile in 2015-2016 to the 47th percentile today. While the school's success with specific student groups and improved attendance provide a strong foundation, the consistent 4th grade decline and widening gap with peer schools suggest that targeted attention to the 3rd-to-4th grade transition is urgently needed.
