Summary

Englewood Elementary School in Tuscaloosa, AL, serves 522 students in grades 3 through 5 and is part of the Tuscaloosa County school district.

Englewood has experienced a significant decline in its state ranking over the past decade, dropping from a 3-star school to a 1-star school. The most pressing concern is mathematics, where only about 1 in 7 students are proficient—roughly half the district average and less than one-third of the state average. For example, just 13.25% of 3rd graders meet math proficiency standards, compared to 30.65% at nearby Maxwell Elementary School. Science is also a weak spot, with only 22.56% of 4th graders proficient versus 42.53% for the district. On a more positive note, English proficiency improves significantly as students progress—by 5th grade, 66.67% of Englewood students are proficient, nearly matching the state average of 69.53%. The school also has a better chronic absenteeism rate (10.9%) than both the district (11.8%) and state (12.0%), showing improvement from 14.8% two years ago.

Economically disadvantaged students face the greatest challenges, with the school ranking in the 15th percentile statewide for this subgroup. Englewood spends $8,323 per student, which is lower than nearby schools like Big Sandy Elementary ($9,270) and Maxwell Elementary ($8,661). With 60.92% of students receiving free or reduced lunch, the school serves a community with notable economic challenges. While Taylorville Primary School (which feeds into Englewood) has a similar free/reduced lunch rate, Englewood's math scores lag significantly behind, suggesting that additional resources and targeted math interventions may be needed to reverse the school's downward trajectory.
