Summary

Rosalie Elementary School is a small, rural PK-8 school in Pisgah, AL, serving 173 students within the Jackson County district, where about 60% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

One of the most significant concerns at Rosalie is chronic absenteeism. At 18.6%, the rate is notably higher than the district (12.7%) and state (12.0%) averages, and it far exceeds nearby schools like Bridgeport Elementary School (5.1%) and Flat Rock School (5.5%). This pattern of missed school days is likely a major factor behind the school's academic struggles, particularly in math. Proficiency rates in math are dramatically lower than district and state averages, with 5th grade at just 6.67% and 4th grade at 22.22% in the most recent year. The challenge appears concentrated in grades 3-5, as 6th and 7th grade math proficiency actually exceeds state averages. Meanwhile, English Language Arts performance is a relative strength, with 5th, 6th, and 7th graders meeting or exceeding state averages.

The school also faces challenges with larger class sizes, maintaining a student-to-teacher ratio of 21.8—higher than peers like Dutton Elementary School (16.0) and Hollywood Elementary School (14.7). Performance has been volatile year-to-year, likely due to small class sizes where a single cohort can dramatically shift results. For example, 5th grade math proficiency swung from 0% to 36% to 6.67% over three years. A useful comparison is Dutton Elementary School, just 11 miles away, which serves a similar demographic but ranks in the 86th percentile statewide—showing that high achievement is possible in the same district. Rosalie's effectiveness with low-income students has also declined sharply, dropping from the 74th to 29th percentile over recent years, suggesting a need for targeted support and intervention in the elementary grades.
