Summary

Elkmont Elementary School serves approximately 599 students in grades PK-5 in the rural community of Elkmont, AL, within the Limestone County school district.

Elkmont Elementary has some real academic bright spots, particularly in math and science. In 4th and 5th grade math, students outperform the district average by more than 12 percentage points, and 4th grade science scores have consistently exceeded both district and state averages—in one recent year by nearly 20 points. Fifth grade reading is also a strength, with 71.8% of students proficient, beating the state average. This is impressive given that 63.6% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a higher rate than many nearby schools. However, the school's overall state ranking has slipped slightly to the 49th percentile, and there is a notable gap in performance between female students (54th percentile) and male students (45th percentile).

The most significant concern is chronic absenteeism. At 18.3%, Elkmont's rate is more than double the district average of 7.2% and significantly higher than every comparable school in the area—Tanner Elementary sits at 8.5%, Cedar Hill Elementary at 11.7%, and Sugar Creek Elementary at 13.3%. This issue has persisted for four straight years and likely holds the school back from achieving a higher ranking. The good news is that when students are in class, instruction appears effective—the school outperforms its district in most subjects despite the attendance challenges. If Elkmont could reduce absenteeism to even the district average, its strong teaching could potentially push the school into the 60th-70th percentile range statewide.
