Summary

Dixon Elementary School in Irvington, AL, is a public school serving 526 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the Mobile County school district.

Dixon Elementary has a clear academic strength in science. In the most recent school year, 62.77% of 4th graders were proficient in science, significantly outpacing both the district average (45.84%) and the state average (50.23%). This strong performance puts Dixon ahead of many nearby schools, though it trails Anna F Booth Elementary (74.55%) and Cora Castlen Elementary (65.67%). The school also deserves recognition for its exceptional support of homeless students, ranking in the 87th percentile statewide in this category. Additionally, chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 33.1% to 14.0% over the past two years, showing that targeted efforts to improve attendance are working.

However, mathematics remains a significant challenge. Proficiency rates in math are well below state averages across all grade levels, with 3rd grade math particularly concerning at just 18.67% proficient compared to the state's 44.89%. This creates a notable gap between the school's science and math performance. The school's overall state ranking has been volatile, fluctuating between the 26th and 45th percentiles in recent years. While Dixon outperforms Mary W Burroughs Elementary and is comparable to WC Griggs Elementary, it lags behind Anna F Booth Elementary in nearly every subject. With 70% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, Dixon faces economic challenges, yet its science success—achieved with the lowest per-student spending in the area—suggests that focused improvements in math instruction could yield meaningful gains.
