Summary

CollinsRhodes Elementary School in Eight Mile, AL, serves 537 students from Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Mobile County school district.

CollinsRhodes is currently facing significant academic challenges. In the 2025-2026 school year, the school ranked in the bottom 2% of elementary schools statewide, earning a 0-star rating for the third consecutive year. Proficiency rates across all subjects are dramatically below district and state averages. For example, only 14.46% of 3rd graders are proficient in math, compared to 44.89% statewide, and just 20.48% are proficient in English versus 64.75% statewide. The school also serves a high-needs population, with 85.85% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While chronic absenteeism has improved significantly—dropping from 41.9% in 2022-2023 to 17.3% in 2024-2025—it still exceeds district and state averages. The school's performance with specific student groups is also a concern, ranking in the bottom few percentiles statewide for economically disadvantaged students and for male and female students alike.

The contrast with nearby schools is striking. Saraland Elementary School, just over 4 miles away in the Saraland City district, ranks 23rd in the state with a 5-star rating and shows a 62-point gap in 3rd grade math proficiency compared to CollinsRhodes. However, a more encouraging comparison exists within the same district: WD Robbins Elementary School, about 3 miles away, ranks in the 37th percentile and demonstrates that stronger outcomes are possible in a similar context, with 57.89% 3rd grade math proficiency versus 14.46% at CollinsRhodes. Notably, CollinsRhodes actually spends more per student ($9,411) than higher-performing nearby schools, suggesting the challenges are more about resource allocation and external factors than funding levels. The school's dramatic success in reducing chronic absenteeism shows it can implement effective interventions, and that same focus now needs to be applied to translating improved attendance into academic gains.
