Summary

Bagley Elementary School in Dora, AL, serves 550 students in grades PK-4 as part of the Jefferson County school district, and it has earned a strong 4-star rating by ranking in the 74th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year.

Bagley stands out most dramatically in mathematics. In the most recent school year, 50% of 3rd graders and 60% of 4th graders scored proficient in math, compared to district averages of just 31% and 28.5% respectively. The school's 4th grade math proficiency also exceeds the state average by nearly 18 percentage points. Reading and writing skills are equally impressive, with 72% of 3rd graders and 68% of 4th graders proficient in English—well above both district and state averages. Science scores are also a highlight, with 61% of 4th graders proficient compared to just 36% district-wide. Perhaps most notably, Bagley ranks in the top 14% of Alabama schools for its work with economically disadvantaged students, demonstrating that the school is effectively closing achievement gaps. This is especially meaningful given that about 32% of students receive free or reduced lunch.

When compared to nearby schools, Bagley's performance is particularly impressive. It outperforms Sumiton Elementary in the Walker County district by significant margins in 4th grade math (60% vs. 44%) and English (68% vs. 55%). While Bryan Elementary ranks higher overall, it serves a more affluent population, making Bagley's results especially noteworthy. The school also achieves these outcomes while spending less per student ($8,971) than many nearby schools, including Warrior Elementary ($10,462) and West Jefferson Elementary ($11,153). Chronic absenteeism has also improved dramatically, dropping from 18.1% to 12.7% in one year, now aligning with the state average. With consistent academic performance over the past decade and recent gains in attendance, Bagley offers a stable, effective learning environment for elementary students.
