Summary

Hazlewood Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the town of Town Creek, Alabama, with 216 students. The school is part of the Lawrence County School District, which is ranked 95 out of 135 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Hazlewood Elementary has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Alabama elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past 10 years.

Hazlewood Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently low academic performance, with proficiency rates in math and English language arts well below the county and state averages. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.0% to 18.4% over the past few years, which is significantly above the state average. Additionally, Hazlewood has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic status backgrounds, with 83.8% to 91.49% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Lawrence County district, such as East Lawrence Elementary and Hatton Elementary, generally outperform Hazlewood on academic measures, have lower chronic absenteeism, and serve a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students. This suggests that factors beyond just the district-level challenges may be contributing to Hazlewood's struggles.
