Summary

Dozier Elementary School in Montgomery, AL, serves 426 students from Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Montgomery County district, which ranks in the bottom 20% of districts statewide.

Dozier currently ranks in the bottom 5% of all elementary schools in Alabama, and the data reveals some significant challenges. The most pressing concern is a dramatic drop in 4th-grade math proficiency, which fell to just 6.25% in the most recent school year—far below the district average of 23.18% and dramatically lower than nearby schools like Dannelly Elementary School (30.77%) and Dalraida Elementary School (25.71%). This "math cliff" is a consistent pattern, with proficiency eroding sharply from 3rd to 4th grade year after year. The school also ranks in the 3rd percentile statewide for academic performance of its low-income students, suggesting it struggles to support its most vulnerable learners—over 76% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Chronic absenteeism has been a major issue, peaking at 38.5% in 2022-2023, though it has improved to 20.8%—still nearly double the state average.

Despite these challenges, there are bright spots. Dozier shows a notable strength in 5th-grade English Language Arts, with a 51.79% proficiency rate in 2024-2025 that beat the district average and outperformed several nearby schools, including Dannelly (37.11%) and Brewbaker Intermediate School (45.39%). However, the contrast with Halcyon Elementary School, located just 3.27 miles away, is stark—Halcyon consistently ranks in the top 35% statewide while Dozier sits in the bottom 5%. The school's overall ranking has been volatile, falling from the 14th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 4th percentile in 2025-2026, indicating that while there are pockets of success, the school has not yet found a stable path to improvement.
