Summary

Opp Elementary School in Opp, AL, serves 547 students from Pre-K through 4th grade and is part of the highly rated Opp City district, which ranks in the 83rd percentile statewide. The school itself has earned a 4-star rating and ranked 88th out of 686 elementary schools in Alabama for the 2025-2026 school year—a remarkable jump from 163rd the previous year. This places it ahead of nearby schools like Samson Elementary School (356th) and Elba Elementary School, while outperforming Straughn Elementary School and Fleeta School in most subjects.

Academically, Opp Elementary shines brightest in early literacy. Its 3rd grade English proficiency rate of 87.91% is the highest among all neighboring schools and exceeds the state average by more than 23 percentage points. Math performance is also strong, with 3rd grade math improving by over 17 points in just two years. Perhaps most impressive is the school's success with students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds—61.61% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, yet the school ranks in the 92nd percentile for this subgroup. This demonstrates that Opp Elementary is effectively closing achievement gaps. The school also maintains a low chronic absenteeism rate of 9.9%, well below the state average of 12%, which likely contributes to its academic success.

One area of concern is the school's Special Education performance, which has dropped dramatically from the 69th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 5th percentile in 2025-2026. This sharp decline warrants attention from parents of students with IEPs. However, for most families, Opp Elementary offers a compelling combination of strong academics, efficient spending ($9,471 per student—less than Elba Elementary School and Fleeta School despite better results), and a track record of continuous improvement. For parents seeking a school where their child is likely to thrive academically, Opp Elementary is an excellent choice.
