Summary

Pearl Haskew Elementary is a public elementary school in Irvington, Alabama, serving 504 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Mobile County School District. The school has shown mixed academic performance, with proficiency rates in Mathematics generally lower than state and county averages, but stronger performance in English Language Arts. Despite these challenges, Pearl Haskew has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating average performance compared to other Alabama elementary schools.

One area of concern is Pearl Haskew's high chronic absenteeism rates, which have ranged from 14.8% to 31.5% over the past few years, consistently exceeding state and county averages. The school also serves a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 67.26% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the data shows that the school's special education students and male students have performed relatively well compared to their peers in Alabama, ranking in the top half of the state's elementary schools.

Interestingly, there are several higher-performing elementary schools, such as Dawes Intermediate and Saint Elmo Elementary, located relatively close to Pearl Haskew. This suggests that families in the area may have access to alternative educational options that could potentially better meet their children's needs. Overall, the analysis of Pearl Haskew Elementary highlights both strengths and areas for improvement, and addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates should be a priority for the school and district.
