Summary

Blossomwood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Huntsville, Alabama, serving 584 students in grades PK-6 and part of the Huntsville City School District. The school has seen fluctuating performance over the years, ranking as high as 42nd out of 691 Alabama elementary schools in 2014-2015 and as low as 331st out of 680 in 2024-2025.

Blossomwood consistently outperforms the Huntsville City and Alabama state averages in English/Language Arts proficiency, but its mathematics performance is more mixed, with some grades exceeding the district and state averages while others fall behind. The school also has generally higher science proficiency than the district and state. However, Blossomwood's per-student spending of $8,149 in 2018-2019 is lower than some nearby schools, such as Montview Elementary ($13,217) and Chapman Elementary ($12,811). Additionally, Blossomwood has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 8.0% in 2023-2024 to 17.9% in 2022-2023.

Nearby schools, such as Jones Valley Elementary and Monte Sano Elementary, consistently rank among the top-performing schools in the state, significantly outpacing Blossomwood's mathematics and overall academic achievement. The schools with the highest percentages of students from low-income backgrounds, such as Sonnie Hereford Elementary (94.56% free/reduced lunch) and Ridgecrest Elementary (88.34%), tend to have the lowest academic performance, while Blossomwood and nearby schools with lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students generally perform better academically.
