Summary

Huxford Elementary School is a K-6 school in Atmore, AL, serving 276 students within the Escambia County school district, where about 68.5% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Huxford has been on a strong upward trajectory, jumping from the 32nd percentile in 2021-2022 to the 57th percentile (3 stars) in 2025-2026—its best ranking in years. The school's standout strength is upper-grade mathematics: 5th grade math proficiency (47%) and 6th grade math proficiency (48%) both far exceed district averages (28-29%) and even beat the state average by 10+ points. In fact, Huxford's 6th grade math performance surpasses that of Perdido Elementary School in the higher-performing Baldwin County district (48% vs. 35%). English Language Arts is also consistently strong across all grades, with proficiency rates ranging from 59% to 67%—all above district averages. The school has also made impressive gains with female students (jumping from the 39th to 70th percentile in two years) and with low-income students (now at the 66th percentile).

Compared to Rachel Patterson Elementary School, which serves a similar demographic but ranks in the 8th percentile, Huxford achieves dramatically better outcomes—for example, 5th grade math proficiency is 47% at Huxford versus just 14% at Rachel Patterson. However, there are areas to watch. Chronic absenteeism, while improved from 33% to 21%, remains nearly double the state average. The school also shows a puzzling "4th grade dip" in math (31% proficiency vs. 48% in 3rd and 5th grades), suggesting a possible transition challenge. While Flomaton Elementary School in the same district ranks higher overall (66th percentile) and has much lower absenteeism (6.8%), Huxford's upper-grade math instruction is competitive even with schools in higher-performing districts. With continued progress on attendance and the 4th grade math gap, Huxford appears well-positioned to keep climbing.
