Summary

F S Ervin Elementary School is a small, rural school in Pine Hill, AL, serving 197 students in grades PK through 6 as part of the Wilcox County district, where the vast majority of families (83%) qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most pressing issue at F S Ervin is chronic absenteeism, which affects 24.3% of students—double the state average of 12%. While this is a major improvement from 47.7% just two years ago, it remains a significant barrier to learning. Academically, math proficiency is extremely low, with 5th-grade math at 0% proficiency compared to the state average of 39%. However, the school shows relative strength in English Language Arts, with 5th-grade ELA at 57.89% proficiency, coming within 12 points of the state average and exceeding the district average. Interestingly, the school's African American students perform better than the school's overall ranking, placing in the 28th percentile statewide compared to the school's 13th percentile overall.

When compared to Thomasville Elementary School, just 10 miles away and serving a similar demographic, the gap is stark: Thomasville's 3rd-grade math proficiency is 53.97% versus 10.71% at F S Ervin, and its chronic absenteeism is just 9.7%. Notably, F S Ervin actually spends more per student ($13,046) than Thomasville ($9,853), yet outcomes are dramatically different. This suggests that district-level leadership and instructional support—not just funding or class size—play a critical role. The school's trajectory is improving, however, with its statewide ranking climbing from the 3rd percentile in 2016-2017 to the 13th percentile today, offering a foundation for continued progress.
