Summary

Breitling Elementary School in Grand Bay, AL, serves 471 students from Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Mobile County school district, where it has climbed to the 55th percentile statewide (3 stars) in 2025-2026—a notable improvement from the 43rd percentile just two years ago.

Breitling's standout strength is mathematics. Across 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades, proficiency rates run 10-12 percentage points above the district average—for example, 47.89% of 3rd graders are proficient in math versus 35.39% districtwide. The school has made remarkable progress here, with 3rd grade math proficiency jumping from 27.59% to 47.89% in just two years. Science is another bright spot: 62.5% of 4th graders scored proficient, well above the state's 50.23%. The school has also dramatically reduced chronic absenteeism from 26.5% in 2022-2023 to 12.9% in 2024-2025, a change that likely supports these academic gains. English language arts is more mixed—Breitling outperforms the district in 3rd and 4th grades but falls behind in 5th grade (58.43% vs. 63.76% district), a decline worth watching.

Compared to nearby schools, Breitling outperforms most peers in math, including WC Griggs Elementary School (44.94% vs. 21.78% in 5th grade math) and Dixon Elementary School. However, Cora Castlen Elementary, just 2.31 miles away, ranks at the 73rd percentile with notably higher English scores (87.88% vs. 61.97% in 3rd grade) despite serving a similar percentage of students from low-income households. This proximity suggests Breitling has room to grow. The school spends $10,661 per student and maintains a 17.4 student-teacher ratio, achieving above-average results with efficient resource use. With its upward trajectory in math, science, and attendance, Breitling is a school on the move—one that families should watch closely as it continues to improve.
