Summary

Pintlala Elementary School is a small, rural school in Hope Hull, AL, serving 170 students in Pre-K through 6th grade, about 10 miles south of Montgomery. It operates within the Montgomery County district and serves a predominantly low-income population, with 63.5% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch—a lower rate than most nearby schools.

The most exciting news is the school's dramatic improvement. In the 2025-2026 school year, Pintlala jumped 70 spots in state rankings, its best performance in years. The standout success is in 3rd-grade reading, where 63% of students scored proficient—nearly matching the state average and far exceeding the district average of 40%. The school also made huge strides in 6th-grade math, jumping from 10% to 28% proficiency. Chronic absenteeism also dropped significantly, from 24.8% to 16%, which is much better than the district average of 25.2%. While math scores across other grades remain below state averages, the overall trend is clearly positive.

Compared to nearby schools, Pintlala's progress is notable. It outperforms Crump Elementary and Fitzpatrick Elementary in several areas, and its 3rd-grade reading scores are competitive with much higher-ranked schools. However, Carver Elementary, which serves a similar demographic, achieves dramatically better results across all subjects, suggesting there's still room for growth. Pintlala also spends more per student ($13,724) than any nearby school, which may reflect the costs of its rural location. For parents, this is a school showing real momentum, with strong early literacy and improving attendance—a promising sign for the future.
