Summary

Dalraida Elementary School is a public elementary school in Montgomery, Alabama, serving 669 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Montgomery County school district, which is ranked 109 out of 135 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dalraida Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the Montgomery County and Alabama state averages on standardized tests, with only 32.17% of 3rd graders proficient or better in Math in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 28.05% for the county and 45.47% for the state. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.8% to 28.5% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, 63.38% of Dalraida's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high proportion of students from low-income families.

Interestingly, Dalraida Elementary's performance is generally lower than the nearby Forest Avenue Elementary, a magnet school in the same district, which consistently outperforms Dalraida across all subject areas and grade levels. Despite this, Dalraida's spending per student is on par with the nearby schools, suggesting that funding alone is not the primary driver of the school's underperformance. The school's student-teacher ratio has also increased from 17.4 in 2021-2022 to 20.2 in 2023-2024, which may be contributing to the challenges in supporting student learning.
