Summary

George Hall Elementary School is a small PK-5 school in Mobile, AL, serving 244 students in the Mobile County district, where over 85% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

George Hall is currently facing a serious academic crisis. For the 2025-2026 school year, it ranks 679th out of 686 elementary schools in Alabama, placing it in the bottom 1% statewide. This is a dramatic fall from just a few years ago—in 2023-2024, the school was ranked in the 16th percentile, and as recently as 2015-2016, it was in the 33rd percentile. The most alarming statistic is in mathematics: only 6% of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders are proficient in math, compared to 34% district-wide and 42% statewide. The school also ranks in the 0th percentile for both female students and low-income students, and in the 1st percentile for special education students, indicating it is struggling to meet the needs of nearly every group it serves. This underperformance is even more stark when compared to nearby schools like Erwin Craighead Elementary (11th percentile) and Maryvale Elementary (7th percentile), which serve similar demographics but perform significantly better.

There are a few bright spots worth noting. The school has made remarkable progress in reducing chronic absenteeism, dropping from 40.3% in 2021-2022 to just 8.9% in 2024-2025—now better than both the district (12.8%) and state (12.0%) averages. Additionally, 5th-grade English proficiency stands at 39.4%, which, while below state averages, is far higher than the school's performance in other subjects and grades, suggesting a potential model for improvement. It's also important to note that George Hall spends $10,103 per student—more than high-performing magnet schools like W H Council Traditional School ($8,876) and EicholdMertz School of Math and Science ($8,951)—so the issue is not a lack of funding. The school clearly needs intensive intervention, particularly in math, but the progress in attendance and 5th-grade literacy shows that improvement is possible.

Wednesday, July 20, 2011

I love the surroundings, the teachers, and staff as a whole. They give the children so much enlightenment and I am forever grateful. Check out the wonderful staff over there and you will see exactly what I am talking about. The principal at George Hall has turned the school around tremendously and not only the parents appreciate the love and care they show but the students as well. My child comes home everyday telling me something he did and enjoyed at school. It is a great learning environment for any child ready to learn and become somebody. Close Quote
