Summary

Beulah Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Valley, Alabama, with 670 students. The school is part of the Lee County School District, which is ranked 65 out of 135 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Beulah Elementary has a 2-star rating and has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate between 257 and 458 over the past several years.

Beulah Elementary's student performance on standardized tests is generally below the state and county averages, particularly in mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, only 28-46% of Beulah students were proficient in math across grades 3-6, compared to 34-48% for the Lee County district and 34-45% statewide. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.8% to 22.0% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, Beulah Elementary has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 57.8% to 73.4% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools, such as West Smiths Station Elementary and Wacoochee Elementary, both in the Lee County district, Beulah Elementary generally performs worse on standardized tests and has higher rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach focused on improving instructional practices, providing targeted support for struggling students, and ensuring equitable access to resources and opportunities.
