In contrast, Loxley Elementary School, with an enrollment of 480 students, is ranked in the middle of Alabama elementary schools and has a 3-star rating, but also struggles with test scores that are below county and state averages, particularly in mathematics.
Both schools serve a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by their high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, which may contribute to their academic performance. Additionally, the higher student-teacher ratio at Central Baldwin Middle School compared to Loxley Elementary School could be a factor in its lower academic outcomes.
