Summary

Flowers Elementary School is a K-5 school in Montgomery, AL, serving 387 students in a predominantly low-income community, with 83% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch.

Flowers Elementary has some notable bright spots that set it apart from nearby schools. Most impressively, the school has made huge strides in getting kids to class—chronic absenteeism has dropped from 33.1% in 2022-2023 to just 12.6% in 2024-2025. That's dramatically better than the Montgomery County district average of 25.2% and much lower than nearby schools like Highland Gardens Elementary School (27.4%) or Dannelly Elementary School (23.2%). The school also shines in 3rd-grade math, where 42.31% of students are proficient—well above the district average of 27.16% and close to the state average. This suggests the early-grade math program is working well.

However, there's a concerning pattern: test scores drop sharply between 3rd and 4th grade. In math, proficiency falls from 42.31% in 3rd grade to just 17.65% in 4th grade—a much steeper decline than the district's typical drop. The same trend appears in English. This "3rd-grade bubble" could mean a strong teaching team or intervention program that isn't sustained in upper grades. The school has held a 1-star rating for five consecutive years, though it spends more per student ($9,912) than top-performing nearby schools like Forest Avenue Elementary School ($7,213) and Bear Exploration Center ($8,121). With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.4:1 and improving attendance, Flowers has the structural pieces in place—the key will be maintaining academic momentum as students move through the grades.
