Summary

Halcyon Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 615 students in grades PK-5 in Montgomery, Alabama, which is part of the Montgomery County School District. The school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Alabama elementary schools, receiving a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most recent school years.

Halcyon Elementary struggles with low student performance, with only 34.12% of 3rd graders proficient or better in math, compared to 28.05% for Montgomery County and 45.47% for the state. However, the school's African American students and English Language Learners perform significantly better than the overall school, ranking in the top half and top 5% of Alabama elementary schools, respectively. The school also faces high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.9% to 28.5% over the past few years, which likely contributes to its academic underperformance.

Interestingly, Blount Elementary, located just 3.43 miles away, has consistently outperformed Halcyon Elementary on standardized tests and has a higher overall SchoolDigger rating. Additionally, Halcyon Elementary's spending per student ($8,675 in 2018-2019) is lower than some of the nearby schools, which may be a contributing factor to its underperformance. While the school faces significant challenges, its strengths in certain subgroups suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement with the right interventions and support.
