Better than 9% of Alabama elementary schools

Summary

Vaughn Road Elementary School in Montgomery, AL, serves 473 students in grades PK through 5 and is part of the Montgomery County district, which ranks in the bottom 20% of Alabama districts.

Vaughn Road is currently performing in the bottom 10-15% of all Alabama elementary schools, ranking 625th out of 686 schools statewide. The school faces significant challenges, with about 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. Math proficiency is a particular concern, especially in upper grades—only 11.43% of 5th graders are proficient in math, compared to 24.63% district-wide and 39.06% statewide. This is the lowest 5th-grade math score among all nearby schools. English proficiency shows a mixed picture: 3rd-grade English (36.96%) is close to the district average, but 4th-grade English (29.49%) lags significantly behind. Science proficiency is also below average, with only 25.64% of 4th graders proficient compared to 50.23% statewide.

There are some positive signs worth noting. Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically, dropping from 27.7% in 2023-2024 to 19.7% in 2024-2025—now better than several nearby schools like Fitzpatrick Elementary School (28.3%) and Dannelly Elementary School (23.2%). The school also shows a "3rd grade bump," where performance is notably stronger in 3rd grade than in 4th and 5th grades, suggesting early-grade instruction may be more effective. However, the most critical concern is special education services—the school ranks in the bottom 1% statewide for special education students, with only 1-3% achieving proficiency. Male students also severely underperform, ranking in the 6th percentile statewide. The stark contrast with Bear Exploration Center, just 2.3 miles away, which ranks in the 97th percentile with only 37% poverty, highlights the profound impact of socioeconomic factors on outcomes. Despite spending $10,215 per student—higher than most nearby schools—Vaughn Road's results suggest that targeted interventions for special education, male students, and upper-grade math will be essential to improving outcomes.
