Summary

Flomaton Elementary School serves 388 students in Pre-K through 5th grade in the small town of Flomaton, AL, and is part of the Escambia County school district.

Flomaton Elementary has a strong track record of academic success, earning 4-star ratings for six consecutive years before a recent dip to a 3-star rating. Even with that decline, it remains the highest-ranked elementary school in the Escambia County district, significantly outperforming nearby schools like Huxford Elementary, Rachel Patterson Elementary, and W S Neal Elementary in nearly every subject and grade level. For example, 61.82% of Flomaton 3rd graders were proficient in math, compared to just 37.33% district-wide and 12% at Rachel Patterson. The school also achieves these results while spending less per student ($9,375) than most of its peers, suggesting efficient use of resources.

One of the school's standout achievements is its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 6.8%—far better than the district average of 26% and the best among all comparable schools in the region. Flomaton has also historically excelled at supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, ranking in the 95th percentile statewide for this group in 2024-2025. However, the most recent school year saw a broad decline across multiple metrics, including overall ranking (from 84th to 66th percentile) and a persistent drop in 4th grade math proficiency (33.33% vs. 61.82% in 3rd grade). While the school's recent challenges are worth monitoring, its long history of strong performance, efficient spending, and excellent attendance make it a solid choice for families in the Flomaton area.
