Summary

Calcedeaver Elementary School is a small, rural school in Mount Vernon, AL, serving 240 students in grades PK through 6 as part of the Mobile County school district, where about 71% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

One of Calcedeaver's standout strengths is its exceptional work with Native American students, ranking 8th out of 53 schools statewide for this group—a remarkable achievement that has been consistent for three straight years. The school also shows a clear "upper-grade advantage": 6th graders significantly outperform 3rd graders in both English (71% vs. 51% proficiency) and math (42% vs. 27%), with 6th-grade scores beating both district and state averages. Perhaps most impressive is the school's dramatic turnaround in attendance—chronic absenteeism dropped from a troubling 36% in 2022-2023 to just 11.6% in 2024-2025, now better than both the district and state averages. When compared to McIntosh Elementary School in Washington County—a school with nearly identical demographics and size—Calcedeaver outperforms it dramatically, with 4th-grade English proficiency at 79% versus McIntosh's 29%.

However, parents should be aware of significant volatility in test scores from year to year. With only 240 students, a single classroom of 20-30 kids can dramatically shift results—3rd-grade math proficiency has swung between 27% and 52% over the past four years. The school also spends more per student ($12,691) than nearby schools like McDavidJones Elementary School ($9,439) or Robert E Lee Elementary in Satsuma City ($8,602), yet lags behind those schools in lower-grade proficiency. While Calcedeaver's recent ranking drop (from 283rd to 391st statewide) is worth monitoring, the school's genuine strengths—especially in upper grades and with Native American students—suggest it's achieving meaningful results despite the challenges of serving a high-poverty rural community.
