Summary

Eden Elementary School is a K-4 school in Pell City, AL, serving 346 students as part of the highly rated Pell City district. The school has just posted its best academic performance in nearly a decade, making it an exciting option for families in the area.

The most striking news is Eden's dramatic turnaround. In just one year, the school jumped from the 36th percentile to the 65th percentile in state rankings—a massive 29-point leap. This improvement is especially visible in math: 4th-grade proficiency soared from 22.78% to 42.86%, and 3rd-grade math rose from 41.43% to 52.11%. While Eden still trails its district peers like Coosa Valley Elementary School (where 4th-grade math proficiency is 60%) and Walter M Kennedy School, the gap is closing quickly. Eden now exceeds state averages in most subjects, a significant achievement for a school that serves a higher percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds (77.75% free/reduced lunch) than any other school in its district.

Two other findings stand out. First, Eden ranks in the 67th percentile for the academic performance of its Special Education students—a remarkable strength that outpaces its overall ranking and shows targeted interventions are working. Second, chronic absenteeism has plummeted from a troubling 22.1% to just 7.1%, now better than both the district (9.5%) and state (12.0%) averages. This improvement in attendance appears closely tied to the academic gains, suggesting a positive shift in school climate and student engagement. For parents, Eden Elementary is a school on the rise—one that is clearly addressing its challenges and delivering better outcomes for its students each year.
