Summary

Warrior Elementary School in Warrior, AL, serves 612 students from Pre-K through 5th grade and has climbed to a 4-star rating (75th percentile) in state rankings, a remarkable rise from a 1-star rating a decade ago, especially considering its Jefferson County district ranks in the bottom third of Alabama districts.

Academically, Warrior Elementary is a standout within its district, outperforming Jefferson County averages by wide margins in every subject and grade level. For example, 5th grade math proficiency (57.61%) is more than double the district average (27.75%), and 5th grade English proficiency (91.21%) exceeds the state average by nearly 22 points. The school is particularly effective with students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 81st percentile for that subgroup—better than its overall rank. It also shows strong results for multi-racial students (80th percentile) and has made significant gains in special education performance. Math scores have surged 31 points since a 2023-2024 dip, suggesting recent interventions are working well.

Compared to nearby schools, Warrior holds its own. It trails Bryan Elementary (ranked 85th) in most metrics, but actually beats Bryan in 5th grade English (91.21% vs. 82.81%) while serving a student body with a much higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (42.97% vs. 25.54% free/reduced lunch). Warrior far surpasses Erwin Intermediate (ranked 669th) by 40-50 percentage points in most subjects, despite being in the same district. The main area for improvement is chronic absenteeism (13.9%), which is better than the district average (16.9%) but higher than the state average (12.0%) and well above Bryan Elementary's 4.9%. Overall, Warrior Elementary demonstrates that a school can achieve excellent results even within a lower-performing district, making it a strong option for families in the Warrior area.
