Summary

Moulton Elementary School serves 695 students from Pre-K through 4th grade in the heart of Moulton, AL, and is the largest elementary school in the Lawrence County district, with nearly half of its students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

Moulton Elementary has a standout strength: its exceptional support for Special Education students. In the most recent school year, the school ranked in the 80th percentile statewide for this subgroup, earning a 4-star rating—a remarkable achievement that far exceeds its overall performance. This is a consistent pattern, with the school ranking in the 86th percentile for Special Education in prior years. The school also performs well in English Language Arts, with 3rd-grade proficiency rates that meet or exceed state averages. However, math is a persistent challenge. Only about 34% of 3rd graders met proficiency in math, compared to roughly 45% statewide. This gap has been consistent across multiple years, suggesting a systemic issue in math instruction. Additionally, the school has seen a dramatic shift in performance between male and female students, with girls now outperforming boys by a significant margin—a reversal from just two years ago.

Chronic absenteeism is a growing concern, with rates climbing from 13% to over 14% in recent years, far exceeding nearby Mount Hope, which boasts a remarkably low 0.8% absenteeism rate despite serving a similar demographic. The contrast with DanvilleNeel Elementary School, just 12 miles away in Morgan County, is striking: DanvilleNeel ranks in the 85th percentile statewide, with 4th-grade math proficiency more than double Moulton's (84% vs. 40%). Both schools serve similar percentages of low-income students, suggesting the gap stems from instructional strategies rather than demographics. Mount Hope's success—ranking in the 62nd percentile with higher poverty rates—further demonstrates that improvement is achievable within the same district.
