Summary

Ashville Elementary School in Ashville, AL, serves 476 students from Pre-K through 4th grade in the St Clair County school district, a mid-sized school where just over half of students (54.62%) qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Ashville Elementary has shown it can achieve at a high level, but recent results have been a mixed bag. The school's overall state ranking dropped significantly this year, falling from the 72nd percentile to the 52nd percentile. This decline is most visible in math, where 3rd-grade proficiency fell from 53.25% to 36.36% and 4th-grade math dropped from 51.61% to 31.08%—both now below state averages. English scores remain closer to state averages, and 4th-grade science is a genuine bright spot, with 52.7% of students proficient, slightly above the state average. The school also continues to excel in serving its Special Education students, ranking in the 74th percentile statewide—a remarkable strength that sets it apart from most schools in the region. On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 19.6% to 10.7%, now below the state average of 12.0%.

Compared to nearby Springville Elementary School, which consistently ranks in the 80th-85th percentile, Ashville faces different demographic challenges—Springville's free/reduced lunch rate is just 23.49%, less than half of Ashville's. However, Ashville has a lower student-teacher ratio (14.8 vs. 17.3 at Springville) and spends more per student ($8,619 vs. $7,511), giving it structural advantages that could support a rebound. The school's history shows it is capable of much higher performance—it ranked in the 81st percentile in 2018-2019 and the 79th percentile as recently as 2022-2023. With smaller class sizes and proven strengths in special education and science, Ashville has solid building blocks to reverse this year's decline and return to its historical trajectory.
