Summary

Elkmont High School is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in Elkmont, Alabama, with a total enrollment of 619 students. The school is part of the Limestone County School District, which is ranked 75 out of 135 districts in the state.

Elkmont High School faces several challenges, including below-average academic performance compared to state and county averages, as measured by standardized test scores. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 13.41% of 11th-grade students at Elkmont were proficient or better in Summative Assessment/Mathematics, compared to 12.07% in Limestone County and 23.71% statewide. The school also has a higher rate of chronic absenteeism at 20.8%, compared to 8.4% in the county and 14.8% across Alabama. Additionally, Elkmont High serves a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 67.37% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

When compared to nearby high schools, Elkmont generally underperforms. For instance, East Limestone High School and Ardmore High School, both within a 15-mile radius, consistently outperform Elkmont in academic measures such as standardized test scores and graduation rates. The school's per-student spending of $9,190 in 2018-2019 is also lower than the spending at nearby schools like Tanner High School ($13,280) and Athens High School ($13,356), which may contribute to its relatively lower academic performance.
