Tuskegee Public Elementary

Public Grades 4-8

Summary

Tuskegee Public Elementary is a middle school located in Tuskegee, Alabama, serving grades 4-6 with a total enrollment of 258 students. The school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low academic performance, and a student population that is predominantly economically disadvantaged.

Tuskegee Public Elementary has experienced very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.8% to 35.6% over the past few years, significantly exceeding the state average. Across all subject areas and grade levels, student test scores are well below state averages, with only 6.25% of 6th graders proficient or better in math in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 33.97%. The school also serves a student population that is almost entirely eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantages.

When comparing Tuskegee Public Elementary to other nearby middle schools, such as Tuskegee Institute Middle School and Sanford Middle School, it becomes clear that the academic performance challenges are not unique to this school. These issues appear to be systemic within the Macon County region, suggesting the need for a collaborative effort to address the root causes and support student success.
