Summary

Stevenson Elementary School serves 360 students in Pre-K through 4th grade in the small community of Stevenson, Alabama, within the Jackson County district.

Stevenson Elementary has one of the most impressive improvement stories in the area. Over the past decade, the school has climbed from a 1-star rating to its current 4-star rating, moving from the 23rd percentile statewide to the 70th percentile. This upward trend has been remarkably consistent, with improvements in 8 of the last 9 years. The school's greatest strength is early literacy—third-grade reading proficiency reached 81.82% in the most recent year, outpacing the state average by 17 percentage points. Stevenson also excels at supporting students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 78th percentile statewide for this group, and has shown dramatic gains with special education students, jumping from the 11th percentile to the 88th percentile in just three years. Chronic absenteeism has dropped to 9.4%, well below district and state averages. Perhaps most notably, the school achieves these results while spending less per student ($9,622) than any nearby school, including Bridgeport Elementary School ($10,210) and Dutton Elementary School ($11,262).

One area of focus is the transition to 4th grade. While third-grade scores are exceptional, fourth-grade performance, though improving, is closer to state averages. For example, 4th-grade math proficiency has risen from 17.24% to 44.64% over three years but still trails the school's 3rd-grade math rate of 70.37%. When compared to nearby Bridgeport Elementary School, just 7 miles away with similar demographics, Stevenson leads in 3rd grade while Bridgeport leads in 4th grade. The school also shows an unusual pattern of male students (73rd percentile) outperforming female students (63rd percentile), reversing typical national trends. With its efficient use of resources and strong support systems, Stevenson Elementary is well-positioned for continued growth.
