Summary

Rogers Elementary School in Florence, AL, serves 592 students in Pre-K through 6th grade within the Lauderdale County district, a school that has seen its overall state ranking slip from the 50th percentile to the 43rd percentile over the past year.

For parents, the most pressing concern is math proficiency. In the most recent school year, Rogers' math scores fell below the district average in every grade level, with particularly stark gaps in 3rd and 4th grades—only 40% and 27.66% of students were proficient, respectively, compared to district averages of 55.23% and 49.14%. This is a 15- to 21-point deficit. In contrast, peer schools like Lexington Elementary School and Brooks Elementary School consistently meet or exceed district averages in math. The good news is that English Language Arts (ELA) scores are comparatively stronger—at or above the state average in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades—suggesting literacy strategies are working even as math instruction needs significant support.

Another red flag is chronic absenteeism, which spiked dramatically from 14.9% to 24.7% in one year—more than double the state average of 12.0% and higher than all nearby schools, which range from 7.2% to 18.4%. This likely contributes to the academic decline. On a positive note, Rogers shows genuine strength in serving specific populations, ranking in the 62nd percentile for Special Education students and the 54th percentile for Low Socio-Economic Status students. The school also saw a significant drop in free/reduced lunch participation, from 62% to 47.3%, which may reflect changing family circumstances. While Rogers is currently the lowest-performing of its four in-district peers—Underwood Elementary School, Wilson Elementary School, Lexington, and Brooks—the challenges appear specific to this school's environment rather than systemic to the district, meaning targeted interventions in math and attendance could reverse the trend.
