Summary

Coosa Valley Elementary School in Cropwell, AL, serves 404 students in grades K-4 as part of the Pell City school district, and it has earned a reputation as one of the state's most consistent and effective elementary schools.

Coosa Valley currently ranks 96th out of 686 elementary schools in Alabama (86th percentile) with a 4-star rating—a level of performance it has maintained for ten straight years. What truly sets this school apart, however, is its extraordinary attendance record. In 2024-2025, only 1.4% of students were chronically absent, compared to 9.5% for the district and 12% statewide. This is roughly 4 to 15 times lower than nearby schools like C L Salter Elementary School (13.9%) and Raymond L Young Elementary School (20.6%). The school also excels academically, with 85.19% of 3rd graders and 80% of 4th graders proficient in English—well above state averages of 64.75% and 59.53%. Science is a hidden strength, with 73.33% of 4th graders proficient, a 23-point advantage over the state average.

Perhaps most impressive is how Coosa Valley achieves these results with a student population where 57% qualify for free/reduced lunch. The school ranks in the 95th percentile for Low Socioeconomic Status students and the 91st percentile for Special Education students, both earning 5-star ratings. It outperforms district peers like Iola Roberts Elementary School and Eden Elementary School in nearly every subject, while spending less per student ($8,363) than most nearby schools. This combination of high achievement, equitable outcomes across all student groups, and efficient resource use makes Coosa Valley a standout choice for families in the Cropwell area.
