Summary

Kitty Stone Elementary School in Jacksonville, AL, is a mid-sized public school serving 929 students in grades PK through 6 within the Jacksonville City district, which holds a 4-star rating and ranks in the top third of Alabama districts.

Kitty Stone has experienced a notable decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years, dropping from the 89th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 58th percentile in 2025-2026. This downward trend stands in contrast to several nearby schools that are performing well above it. For example, White Plains Elementary School ranks in the 91st percentile, while Pleasant Valley Elementary School and Alexandria Elementary School both rank in the 79th-80th percentile range. The school's star rating has also slipped from a consistent 4 stars to 3 stars. One of the most concerning areas is 6th-grade mathematics, where only 24.79% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 35.22% — a significant gap that is even more pronounced when compared to Pleasant Valley's 55.93% proficiency rate in the same subject and grade.

Despite these challenges, Kitty Stone shows clear strengths. The school excels in English Language Arts, with proficiency rates consistently above state averages across all grade levels. It also demonstrates exceptional success with its Hispanic students, ranking 2nd out of 206 schools statewide for this group with a 5-star rating. However, chronic absenteeism at 14.1% is higher than the state average of 12.0% and notably higher than top-performing neighbors like White Plains (5.3%) and Pleasant Valley (9.4%). The school also operates with a higher student-teacher ratio (18.9) and lower per-student spending ($8,982) compared to nearby schools such as De Armanville Elementary School ($11,608 per student). These factors, combined with a broad-based decline across all student subgroups, suggest the school may benefit from examining the resource allocation and instructional strategies of its higher-performing neighbors.
