Summary

Pearl Haskew Elementary is a K-5 public school in Irvington, AL, serving 546 students within the Mobile County school district, where a majority of families (71%) qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school shows real strengths in a few specific areas. Fifth-grade math is a standout, with 44.57% of students proficient—well above both the district (34.06%) and state (39.06%) averages. The school also does exceptional work with its Multi-racial students, ranking in the 76th percentile statewide, and provides strong support for Special Education students, who rank in the 67th percentile. Perhaps most impressive is the dramatic improvement in attendance: chronic absenteeism has plummeted from 22.1% to just 9.4% over three years, now better than both the district (12.8%) and state (12.0%) averages. The school also shows a notable ability to support homeless students, ranking in the 67th percentile.

However, the overall picture is mixed. The school's state ranking has slipped from the 70th percentile (3 stars) in 2022-2023 to the 44th percentile (2 stars) in 2025-2026, despite the attendance gains. English proficiency varies widely by grade—3rd graders shine at 70.79% proficiency, but 4th graders lag at 48.98%, nearly 11 points below the state average. When compared to nearby schools, Pearl Haskew outperforms Dixon Elementary School in most subjects, but trails Dawes Intermediate School, which serves a more affluent population and posts significantly higher proficiency rates. At $10,693 per student, spending is comparable to neighbors like Breitling Elementary School but higher than Dawes ($8,434), suggesting that resources alone don't explain the performance gap. For parents, this is a school with clear pockets of excellence and a strong commitment to getting kids to school, but with inconsistent academic outcomes that warrant a closer look.
