Summary

Cedar Hill Elementary School is a PK-5 public school in Ardmore, AL, serving 576 students within the Limestone County school district. The school has earned a 4-star rating, a remarkable achievement given that over half of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and it has climbed from the 36th to the 70th percentile in statewide rankings over the past eight years.

Cedar Hill’s standout strength is mathematics. In 2025-2026, 4th and 5th grade math proficiency rates (52.87% and 48.48%) exceeded state averages by 10-11 points and outpaced the district by 15-22 points. The school also shines in 4th grade science, with a 73.56% proficiency rate—28 points above the district and 23 points above the state. This science score even beats nearby Hazel Green Elementary School (49.62%) and Madison Cross Roads Elementary School (48.92%). English Language Arts is consistently strong across all grades, with 5th grade reaching 72.73% proficiency. Notably, Cedar Hill outperforms Elkmont Elementary School, a nearby school with a similar economic profile, in nearly every subject.

The school also excels at supporting students who face challenges. Its Low Socioeconomic Status students rank in the 71st percentile statewide, and Special Education students rank in the 65th percentile. With a favorable 14:1 student-teacher ratio, Cedar Hill maintains smaller classes than many peers, such as Johnson Elementary School (17.5:1) and Harvest School (19.7:1). The one area for improvement is chronic absenteeism (11.7% in 2024-2025), which is higher than the district average of 7.2% but below the state average. Reducing this could further elevate an already impressive academic profile.
