Summary

Lauderdale Elementary School in Rogersville, AL, serves 746 students from Pre-K through 6th grade and is part of the Lauderdale County district, which ranks in the 60th percentile statewide.

This school is on a strong upward trajectory. In just one year, its state ranking jumped from the 51st percentile to the 67th percentile, earning a 3-star rating. The most impressive gains came from students from low-income backgrounds, who improved from the 44th percentile to the 72nd percentile—a remarkable 28-point leap that now represents the school's strongest subgroup performance. Academically, Lauderdale shines in math for 4th and 5th graders, with proficiency rates (60.8% and 56.4%) well above both district and state averages. Science scores in 4th grade also jumped to 55.7% proficiency, now exceeding state averages. The school has also shown meaningful progress in supporting special education students, moving from the 38th to the 59th percentile over three years. When compared to nearby schools, Lauderdale's recent improvement places it between higher-performing Brooks Elementary School and Lexington Elementary School, and clearly ahead of Rogers Elementary School, which has similar enrollment but ranks in the 43rd percentile.

Despite these academic wins, there are areas of concern. Chronic absenteeism is a significant issue, with 24.3% of students missing too much school—more than double the state average of 12%. This rate has been climbing for three straight years. Additionally, 6th grade math remains a weak spot, with only 36.7% proficiency, below the district average. There's also a gender gap, as male students consistently outperform female students. While the school's overall improvement is encouraging, parents should be aware that attendance and the transition to middle school math are areas where extra support may be needed.
