Summary

Reeltown Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 455 students in grades PK-5 in Notasulga, Alabama, which is part of the Tallapoosa County school district. The school consistently outperforms the county and state averages in English/Language Arts assessments, with 85.14% of 3rd graders, 72.06% of 4th graders, and 62.5% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to county averages of 76.42%, 55.09%, and 70.85% respectively.

Reeltown Elementary's African American students perform significantly better than the state average for that subgroup, ranking 136 out of 427 Alabama elementary schools in 2024-2025. However, the school faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, which has decreased from 17.9% in 2022-2023 to 14.0% in 2023-2024, but is still higher than the state average. Additionally, a significant majority (66.59% in 2023-2024) of Reeltown Elementary students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to nearby Dadeville Elementary School, also in the Tallapoosa County district, Reeltown Elementary outperforms on most test score metrics. However, the school lags significantly behind the higher-performing Auburn City school district, with 3rd grade English proficiency at 78.29% at Creekside Elementary in Auburn, compared to 85.14% at Reeltown. Addressing the school's socioeconomic challenges and improving the performance of its special education students could help Reeltown Elementary continue to improve and better serve its diverse student population.
