Summary

FaucettVestavia Elementary School in Northport, AL, is a mid-sized PK-4 school within the Tuscaloosa County district, serving 343 students and earning a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade.

This school is a standout performer, especially when compared to its neighbors. For the 2025-2026 school year, FaucettVestavia's proficiency rates in 3rd and 4th-grade Math (61.4% and 58%) and English (81.5% and 86%) are roughly double the district average and significantly outpace the state. Its state ranking (86th percentile) is far above nearby district schools like Flatwoods Elementary (24th percentile) and Matthews Elementary (10th percentile). In fact, its test scores are comparable to high-performing city schools like Verner Elementary and Rock Quarry Elementary, even surpassing them in some areas like 4th-grade English (86% vs. 88.2% and 71.8% respectively). This is particularly impressive given that the Tuscaloosa County district ranks in the bottom half of the state (37th percentile).

What truly sets FaucettVestavia apart is its focus on equity and student well-being. The school has an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 4.7%, less than half the district (11.8%) and state (12.0%) averages. It also demonstrates remarkable success with all student groups, ranking in the 98th percentile statewide for academic growth of its African American students and 93rd percentile for its female students. This is achieved while serving a student body where nearly half (46.9%) qualify for free or reduced lunch—a higher percentage than high-performing city schools like Verner (19.7%)—yet its outcomes are similar or better. The most recent school year showed a significant leap in performance, with subgroup rankings for African American and low-income students jumping dramatically, suggesting a targeted and highly effective instructional shift. FaucettVestavia is a clear academic outlier in its immediate vicinity, proving that a school can achieve excellence for every child regardless of background.
